You deserve it.

May you reunite with family and friends in a realm where the sorrows of this world will not be present.

You made the game great !

Hard to believe he was 81.

Agreed...

When he went from second to third it was like a freight train passing a tramp... FAST...

He was exciting to watch. Part of that great baseball era of the late 60s and early 70s. RIP

I miss the days of the great base stealers
They created excitement any time they reached base and drove pitchers nuts.

Maury Wills, Lou Brock, Joe Morgan, Rickey Henderson

The game is a bit different. To much micro managing including the starting pitchers limited to certain amount of pitches or innings and an endless amount of specialty relief pitchers.

Perhaps because of youth it makes it even better with what you added also. The world a bit less jaded.
