Former second baseman Frank Bolling died Saturday:

Bolling played 12 seasons in the majors — six with Detroit, six with the Braves — and hit .254 with 106 home runs. He won a Gold Glove in 1958 with the Tigers, and for part of that season, his double-play partner was his older brother, shortstop Milt Bolling.

The road leading to Hank Aaron Stadium in Mobile is named Bolling Brothers Blvd. Aaron is from the city and was Bolling’s longtime Braves teammate, and they occasionally would visit over the years when the Hall of Famer returned to his hometown.

My thoughts go out to his family and friends.

Bolling was a typical light-hitting second baseman of the era, posting a career .254/.313/.366 slash line. He did have a number of good seasons, however, as he contributed quite a bit with his glove. While 1956 was his best year in terms of batting averages, his 1961 season produced a 4.2 rWAR, and he was at or over 2.0 rWAR in six seasons.
