On this day in 1958, Roy Campanella was involved in a career ending car accident. And so ended Campy's career. He never played again.
The injury happened a few months after the Dodgers had played their last game in Brooklyn.
Campy was selected to The Hall of Fame in 1969. He died in 1993. Campanella was the catcher & 3-time NL MVP on the 1955 Brooklyn team that won the World Series.
