High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Elwin Charles Roe (known as Preacher Roe) (February 26, 1916 – November 9, 2008) was a Major League Baseball pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals (1938), Pittsburgh Pirates (1944-1947), and Brooklyn Dodgers (1948-1954). Preacher Roe lived in West Plains, Missouri, where for many years he operated a small grocery store and also has a street named after him (Preacher Roe Boulevard), which included US 160 north of the US 63 bypass until the city rerouted US 160 and Route 17 around 2000. US 160 still runs as Preacher Roe Boulevard south of US 63. A community ball field in Salem, Fulton County, Arkansas, 18 miles from Roe's birthplace of Ash Flat, is known as Preacher Roe Park. The book Carl Erskine's Tales from the Dodgers Dugout: Extra Innings (2004) includes short stories from former Dodger pitcher Carl Erskine. Roe is prominent in many of these stories. Roe died on November 9, 2008, from colon cancer.
