Thank you Chet!
I was always excited to open a pack of baseball cards and yours came up! My friends and I would trade back and forth and yours were "up my sleeve" so to speak, not wanting to get pressured into trading it. I knew you were a great guy though I didn´t know you. My heavy heart goes out to your friends and family. The man played in time when the game was great and fun to watch.
Rest.

One of my childhood heroes.

I played with Chet as a Denver Bear in 1975 and with the CWS in 1976, some of his teammates were other MLB players... Jim Lyttle, Hugh Yancy, Lamar Johnson, Steve Dunning, Pete Vucovich, Mike Buskey and Pete Varney and myself. Tony Larussa also played on that team. Chet was an always smiling, and never anything but gracious. He was quiet and totally a loyal teammate. We all knew he was a major leaguer and I never saw him angry or disgruntled. Later, in 1977 & 1978 I played against him when I was with the Bluejays.

I am sorry I did not know about his medical issues later in life...but I know he was a battler. May the Peace that Passeth all Understanding be with his family in this time of need. I can only say that if you knew Chet you knew his smile his greatest asset.

Our deepest sympathy from old friends in Lakeland FL.....Mitch and Kathy Birdwell

I am sorry to hear this. I met Chet in Bloomington in 1975 when he was playing for Chicago against the Minnesota Twins. He was a really nice guy, may he rest in peace.

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Many memories watching Chet and the Tigers. Life long Tiger fan.

Chet and the `84 Tigers (Trammell, Whitaker, Morris, Parish, Gibson, Hernandez) are etched in my memory. I was born in Flint, MI, but living and going to school in Arizona at the time. I liked that group for years, and Chet was such a big part of them. My condolences to his family.
