Pasadena's
Mr.
October
 PHS
alumnus Bill Henry led call to arms in 1961 World Series, pair
of All Star games
A little magic happened on the rare occasion
Bill Henry threw a baseball.
Henry had only touched a baseball as a
elementary-aged kid playing in sandlot games. Shortly after he
graduated from Pasadena High School in 1946, he could be found
on the softball diamond playing with his co-workers for Shell
Oil, until a stranger came to town. However, this was no
ordinary onlooker to the game, it was a minor league baseball
manager.
"The man said, 'Let me see you throw
this...' He handed me a baseball and he wanted to see what I
could do when I threw the ball overhand," Henry said. At
that moment, a star was found on the sandlot softball fields of
Pasadena.
