I have memories of the 1980 world series, but the 82 series is the first one that I have a clear memory of watching. All those Brewers and Cards players were, besides Mike Schmidt, my first favorites.

His was one of the first baseball cards I remember getting, back when he was with the Astros.

I agree with the others. I grew up an Astros fan as a kid mostly from 78-86 and he was someone I remember back with the Stros.

I was going to say youneverknow also. Definitely a personality before sports had a lot of personalities. I thought it might have been because he was local but it sounds like fans knew him from a lot of places. Too young.
