		Earl Battey passed away Saturday at age 68 at his home in Ocala, Florida, after a bout with cancer than had lasted several years, and is survived by his wife, Sonia, and five children.
		Battey played in a different time, when the Twins were in old Metropolitan Stadium instead of playing indoors, and the American League was all in the same division...before the DH, which could have extended his career, and before big dollars invaded the then-American Pastime.
		Earl Battey is a personification of those times, when a man played a game because he could play it well enough to make a living at it, and people got pleasure from watching him do so...and it was pretty much as simple as that.
