James Cardasis

Well, I decided to see where and what Jim was doing. Well, to my surprise, I was shocked to realize how late I was to discover his passing. I always was kept in laughter with a good baseball joke of years gone by. One of his favorite quotes at that time was of the many sayings of Yogi Berra. I think at that time he was his favorite person to quote. He always kept us laughing . I admired his great arm. It came out if his hand like it shot out of a cannon , but smooth, relaxed and flexible it...

Met Jimmie in 1965 on NYU Baseball team and became friends. Jimmy was one of the best athletes I ever played with and the most fun to hang with.
To this day the only ballplayer I ever saw with a better arm than Jimmy's (including current major leaguers) was his brother Ted and it was very close between them.

I last saw Jimmy at NYU Baseball reunion a few years ago and he looked like his old self and kept us in laughter the entire day. It was a shock to learn of his...

I just recently learned of Jimmy's passing and wanted to add a few words from his hometown, Mount Vernon, NY. I and my peers in the Class of 1961 were a year younger than Jimmy's brother Teddy, and four years older than Jimmy. But everyone in our town knew and had great admiration for the entire Cardasis Family, beginning with their parents, from whom we bought plants and flowers for our mothers and fathers on special family days, and continuing through the childhood and young adult years of...

To whomever is reading this. Just found out of Jimmy's passing. Jimmy Cardasis was a bright, athletically gifted and highly irreverant classmate/teammate of mine. We were both left handed pitchers but over time Jimmy's talents grew while mine went down in flames from too many curve balls. I send my belated condolences to his family. With love and respect, Jim Alba
