He was the right hander who played for Witt Hanley Yankees, Fewer Boilers and became an Allstar 2nd sacker for Midland Motor’s- considered by many the best defensive player in the game at the position and always had a high batting average. Played on both Midland Motor’s and Witt Hanley Yankee title teams. The ’43 championship game ball after an 11-8 win was given to Whitey for his exceptional play by his fellow Yankees. A fan favorite and will always be known for his big smile, generosity, and being a family man. State wrestling champion for Lindblom Tech High School. Born in l917. He and his wife Grace have passed away. They are survived by two children and three grandchildren.
Chester “Whitey Maytag” Matykiewicz
