Just learned today that we have lost a dear friend and AU teammate Reggie Gilbert. Our thoughts and prayers are with Laurie and the Gilbert family. So sorry his last months were so difficult; Alzheimer´s is such a terrible disease. We will choose to remember Reggie patrolling centerfield for the Tigers during the 1965 and 1966 seasons.
