NEW YORK (AP) — Clete Boyer, the third baseman for the champion New York Yankees teams of the 1960s who made an art form of diving stops and throws from his knees, died Monday. He was 70. Boyer died in an Atlanta hospital from complications of a brain hemorrhage, son-in-law Todd Gladden said....

My childhood hero. Who did not want to be like Clete Boyer? Every line drive snagged at third base made me think I would be like him someday. A young man´s dream. Thank you, Mr. Boyer, for all the great memories. Rest in peace.

As a young boy growing up in Texas, loved watching CB play third base. A childhood hero, ( and not a Yankee lover) he transcended team loyalties because he was a class act and great third baseman. God bless you Clete even if it´s Yankee heaven! B. Squyres

My wife and I met Clete at Cooperstown signing autographs and he had lunch with us the next day and he even took off his World Series ring and let my wife and I look at it. It was such a thrill to meet the former Yankee and make such a wonderful memory. He insisted on paying for the meal.

In 1969, I had the privilege of being hired by Clete Boyer
Rent a Car in Atlanta, Ga! The two years I spent with
that company is among my happiest memories! Clete
Boyer was a very down to earth individual! He treated
his employees with respect! Great sense of humor
and of course, a fabulous 3rd Baseman! RIP Clete Boyer!

Absolutly one of the best 3rd sackers'of modern baseball ! A big Part of the '61 Yanks that, in my opinion, was the greatest team of their era, possibly alltime !
