My father, Jerome Ross, played with Vern Stephens. I believe Vern was traded to the Boston Red Sox during spring training. He made quite an impression on my Dad. My Dad was the number one prospect at shortstop for Boston before blowing out his elbow. He also was in New York Yankees camp before finally calling it quits.
My Dad would always tell me about Ted Williams and Stephens. He gave me an old St. Louis Browns cap, which I still have to this day. It is in fair condition and has "Stephens" written inside.
My father is still listed in the baseball registry book he gave me from 1955; he passed away in 1995.
» B. Ross now resides in Sebring, FL, where he is semi-retired and cares for his Mother. He is an avid car collector and enjoys fishing. He also watches as much sports as he can. He has a 12-year-old daughter, Erica.
