just decided to see how Mr. King was doing and I just learned of his passing ......I am very sorry ...........he was a Senators great we will never forget .......he cried when he was traded ........he loved it here and we loved him .......
I'm so sorry to learn of Jim's passing. He was on one of the first baseball cards I purchased a a child. My best hopes for his family and friends.
Sorry for your loss. I hope all is well for you and your family.
Sorry to hear of Jim's passing. His presence, along with a few other "heroes" made the losing seasons in Washington more enjoyable for this young impressionable fan. Thanks for the memories, old friend.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
I just happened upon the obituary for Jim King. I very fondly remember his days with the Washington Senators... I was at the game in 1967 when he had to play catcher in the second game of a doubleheader because the second catcher was ejected from the game. He always impressed me as a very good player and a classy person. I have always remembered him, even almost 50 years later.
RIP Jim King. You will be missed.
I like many boys were lucky to remember Jim through collecting baseball cards.I collected from 1955-60 and remember having Jim's cards.Jim and the King family will be in my daily prayers.
RIP Jim King. I spent many nights listening to Jim and his fellow Nats trying to win with an expansion team. Only Jim and Don Lock ever seemed to hit homers. Seems that Jim had an outstanding post-MLB life.
Jim was a great man and will be greatly missed by anyone that ever knew him. Our hearts and prayers are with this wonderful family thru this difficult time.
