Seeing it on Twitter.

I miss him and Jon Miller on ESPN.

Wished I would have realized sooner that day I found myself behind him in airport security and gotten the chance to bend his ear for for a moment and tell him how much he was appreciated. He was so short. I am sure he had shrunk some, but even then, he was shockingly small for an elite athlete.

Shit. That hurts. Can't say I'm that surprised, but still.

[BYU 14]

Holy shit, was he ill? Been a rough week losing iconic figures from my youth :(

Man baseball taking some big losses this year. :( RIP Joe

[JPhillips]

From 72-77 in Cincy he was so damned good. Getting him from Houston makes up for the terrible Frank Robinson trade.

Even when he was towards the end of his career his OPS+ was a little above average.

The first batting stance I can remember imitating as a kid.:(

[Vince, Pt. II]

I'm sad that my dislike for him as a broadcaster growing up led me to disregard his career as a player for so long. He was so freaking good.
