I was a neighbor of Rustys when he lived on Odin Street in New Orleans. I also went to St Raphael School when he was there.
My condolences to his family. He was a great guy. Rest In Peace Rusty and God Bless.

In my opinion, one of the GREATEST BASEBALL PLAYERS OF ALL TIME! I was in a crowd once that he was in and people were going crazy trying to get close to him and shake his hand, me included! He was one of the stars of the Houston Astro's and was one of the main crowd raisers! RIP Mr. Staub! You were a fine man and an outstanding citizen. The world is a worse place without the likes of you in it!!

My deep condolences to the family. Colossians 3:15 gives the encouragement to "let the peace of the Christ rule in your hearts". May this peace comfort you at this difficult time.

Rusty, it was a pleasure following you throughout your baseball career. You made everyone from Louisiana proud the way you carried yourself. New York City loves you just as much, not only for being a great Met and helping them win, but all the charitable endeavors you committed yourself to. Your restaurant 33rd & 3rd in Manhattan also was a beloved spot, enjoyable by all.
R.I.P.

I never actually met Rusty, but I did see him last summer at an autograph session. I finally got to tell him that he was the reason I became a Mets fan and a baseball fan. His red hair caught my eye when my dad was watching a Mets game. I asked who he was and then started asking questions about baseball. I was hooked! He was my first baseball 'crush' and will always have a special place in my heart. R.I.P Rusty you were a wonderful human being XOXO.

While i didn't know Mr. Staub I read last week that when he was traded to Montral he took French lessons so he could talk to and understand young fans of his. The very thought of sucu a gesture brings goose bumps to me especially considering the behacvoir of some of today's athletes. RIP.

Rusty was always a favorite, even when he was far away and we only had memories of the times we spent as kids together. RIP, Rusty.

Thoughts and prayers go to you that knew Rusty better than I. I was a fan that thought of Rusty as a very underrated baseball player that loved the game. After his baseball career he took it to the next level in his service to his fellow people that were downtrodden and made their lives better. RIP Rusty.

Rusty is a proud member of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum and we will miss him dearly. Meeting Rusty in 2012 and being able to honour his great career was amazing. RIP Rusty
