A great ballplayer, a great human being.
A sad day for baseball.
Prayers to his family.

You aren't old when your hair turns grey,
You aren't old when it falls away,
But if your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill,
Then you know that you're over the hill

He and Cal Ripken, Jr. went into the Baseball HOF together.
The last two to enter the HOF having played their entire major league careers
in one city for only one team. That just doesn't happen any more.
