A truly kind man who I got to meet many years ago at a baseball game when I began scouting. He was a teammate of my pitching coach and I enjoyed picking his brain for many years about the game of baseball. I am truly sorry to learn about his passing. God bless you Dick And thank you for all the advice you´ve given me about my ball players over the years. You were one of the best. Less than 20,000 men have ever played major-league baseball and you were one of them. I was truly honored to know you
