Family History

It appears this was the home of William W. and Jane Seinsoth in the late 1940s. William was 15-year professional ballplayer, a pitcher and first baseman. Although he had earned a roster spot with the St. Louis Browns in 1944, he was drafted into the Army during WWII before playing in a major league game. William’s dream of playing big league baseball, however, was passed down to his son, William R. Seinsoth (1947-1969), aka Bill Seinsoth. Bill was on his way to becoming a Dodger’s player, but sadly, that dream was never to be fully fulfilled.

By the time Bill was born, the family was living in Southern California. Bill was a star high school pitcher and first baseman and later became notable for winning the 1968 College World Series Most Outstanding Player award while a junior at University of Southern California.

Bill was drafted five times but played only one year professionally, never reaching the majors. He died in a traffic collision while on the way to watch the professional football debut of his college friend O. J. Simpson. Bill nodded off while driving near Barstow, overcorrected and flipped his green WW several times. He was taken off life support the next day, and his kidneys were transplanted to men in Costa Mesa, California, and New Orleans, Louisiana.

The then Governor Ronald Reagan wrote a tribute letter at Bill’s funeral. Bill was only 22 when he passed away.
