28780: Joe Gaetjens -- 1950 U.S. World Cup soccer (fwd)

Folks,

I just finished reading a book about the 1950 World Cup team.  Since my 
father had a lot to do with the fact that St. Louis had 5 members of the 
team, I knew them all very well, so the book was especially fun for me.

In my comments I just posted about the book I do have an extra paragraph
about Joe Gaetjens, the Haitian born and raised center-forward who scored 
the sole goal of the game.

Some might be interested in my comments on the book to remind them about 
Gaetjens' critical role in that incredible upset.
