True Story Laurence Alpert asked if the Hall of Fame's report of Smoky Joe Williams' death in 1946 is greatly exaggerated. The answer is, yes. Smoky Joe, or his wraith, was honored with a day in his honor at the Polo Grounds in 1950. He died February 25 1951 in New York and is buried in Washington DC. - John B Holway |
