i posted the first question in a hurry with some REALLY bad math. so here we go again. Can you help me find the name of a golden glove boxer/pro baseball player that was murdered around 1963?
i was adopted. i recently recieved information about my birth mother. nothing is known about the father. the only way i can find out her name is by signing up with a registery and hoping she does the same. however it does say that 16 days before she was born her father was murdered. it also says he was a pro baseball player and a golden gloves boxer. i was born in 1981 and it says she was 18. if anyone can help i would appreciate it. i figured with this info it wouldnt be too hard. but google isnt helping me all that much. i dont have a personal computer so it is hard for me to research all that much. thank you for your time. oh yeah and he was white.

Here's the official site for Golden Gloves of America
http://www.goldenglovesofamerica.com/
They list winners going back that far, but if you know nothing about his name, or whether he won, it may not help. There is a "contact us" link, so if you get in touch with them, maybe they can help you out.
Was he in the Major Leagues?
Here's the MLB history pages:

This site you can see who died on a particular day of the year, but you can't search by year. Maybe you can contact them and they can help you get that information:

I wish you luck with your search.

Do you know what town your mother was born in, and can you go to the public library in that town? If so, a librarian may be able to help you. The murder would have made the papers. Finding the right newspaper will be the tough part.
