Message: [QUOTE="longtimefan, post: 4233402, member: 212"] Johnny Gee was one of my father's high school teachers. Later, when Gee was a school principal, they became friends. As noted, Gee was notable for being the tallest player ever in the majors for about 30 years. Ralph Kiner, who had batted against him, would bring him up a couple of times every season while broadcasting Mets' games. And the name is pronounced like the Indian butter "ghee", not as in "gee whiz". And his son, who was a bit smaller, played hoops at Michigan, and then transferred to Colgate. [/QUOTE]
