Death of Pottsville team owner

Post by JoeZagorski »

Hey Guys,

Do any of you know when former Pottsville Maroons owner John G. Striegel passed away? I would like to also know the year of his birth as well. It's for another project of mine. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Joe Zagorski

He died August 26, 1969, "one day short of his 84th birthday."

"Doc died on his feet--pouring himself a drink--at the old Flamingo Hotel in Philadelphia." -Georgine Striegel Kelly, his great-niece.

Costello, Doug. 1991. "'The Doc' was 'doing fine.'" Pottsville Republican, September 26:9.
