		Jackie Jensen would die of a second heart attack two months later at the age of 55--at a time when he was finally able to savor life and put a fairly difficult past behind him.
		Jensen's life and whirlwind story have been fairly under-publicized over the years--perhaps due to his unassuming personality and the way he shunned the limelight during an accomplished baseball career.
