Around 1980 I saw Jack shopping at Macy's in Roosevelt Field on Long Island.

Long Island native threw complete game 1-hit shutout in '66 with ChiSox.

That got my attention!

That complete game one-hitter came in the second game of a Memorial Day 1966 doubleheader at Comiskey Park against the Red Sox. Jack had a no-hitter for seven innings in his first start of the year before future Met Joe Foy led off the eighth with a single.

Future World Champions Tommie Agee, J.C. Martin, and Al Weis all played in the game for the White Sox. Agee scored four runs as Chicago won, 11-0.

Lamabe followed that game with a three-hit shutout against Washington four days later. Jack had only one other shutout in his career, and that came with the Cardinals in 1967.

Tom Seaver mentioned Jack in a video when Tom discussed his appearance at the '67 All Star Game. Tom wanted to know how to pitch to certain AL batters just in case he got into the game. Jack was able to tell Tom how to pitch to Ken Berry of the White Sox because Jack was a teammate of his in '66. As fate would have it Berry was the last batter for the AL in the bottom of the 15th inning and Tom struck him out.

I had the personal pleasure of actually knowing Jack. After he retired from baseball (1968) he took a part time job coaching for Mepham High School on Long Island. He was my coach, and I remember him as the most inspirational gentleman I have ever known. In high school, I was just coming out of my "scrawny little weakling" phase. Jack truly inspired me to work hard, try hard, and not to be disappointed if I failed. I still keep a little trophy he gave me as a memento. I've bragged about having a World Series ring owner as a coach for the past 40 years. A truly wonderful man, whom I will miss.

I grew up in Springfield, Ma. and played basketball at the North Branch elementary school. We were in the 15 years old category and a few of us got to play ball with the older guys...Lamabe attending Springfield College at the time used to play there evenings to keep in shape during the off season. I remember playing against him several times; he was much better at baseball but a real gentleman. Another notable that played was Joe Schibelli the Los Angeles Rams all pro guard.
