As Boston University's baseball coach, he immortalized himself by switching Mickey Cochrane from third baseman to catcher. Since the Blackhawks, who won the world's championship Stanley Cup in 1934, were last year the lowest scoring team in the league, Bill Stewart should have started work on them early in October, but he was busy umpiring the World Series...
