Former Timberjacks infielder Gust passes away

Former Wausau Timberjacks infielder Don Gust passed last fall at the
age of 93.  Gust was a native of Utah, who joined the Detroit Tiger
farm system in 1951.  He played in 101 games for the Timberjacks that
season, batting .207, with four home runs and 36 rbis.  He returned to
Wausau the following season, and in 48 games, hit .186, with one home
run and five rbis.  Gust was then traded to the Philadelphia
organization, and spent the next three seasons in the Phillies' farm
system before leaving baseball in 1955.  Gust later won both high
school baseball and cross country championships as a coach in Midvale, Utah,
and also served as a part-time scout for the Cincinnati
Reds for 35 years.
