Andrew, Brinkman's obituary appeared in the Oct. 3rd issue of the
Washington Post. Here's the link:

Another recent death was that of pitcher Sid Hudson, who played for
the Senators from 1940 to 1952 and spent a few years after that with
the Red Sox. Hudson was a pitching coach for the expansion Senators
under Ted Wiliams.
