Nate Carlisle joined FOX 13 in October 2020 as an investigative producer and reporter. He spent the previous 15 years as a reporter at The Salt Lake Tribune, covering criminal justice, polygamy, the military and the finances of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

“Oh, that's a great picture there,” said Williams, a former Major League outfielder. “We were both young, looking forward to the next season.”

Ken and Gary Hubbs were two of five boys from a sports-crazy family where their father was often the coach. In the book, “Wrigleyville: A Magical History Tour of the Chicago Cubs,” author Peter Golenbock quotes Santo as saying Ken Hubbs arrived in the big leagues with a fear of flying. To conquer it, he took flying lessons after games and in the offseason.

Ken Hubbs and Doyle did just that. Then, the pair was ready to fly back to California on Feb. 13, 1964. Ken Hubbs already had his equipment bag packed to go to spring training. The Cessna had crashed into the south end of a frozen Utah Lake, about 3 miles from the Provo airport. Doyle was 23 years old. Ken Hubbs was 22.
