He was more than just a ballplayer, but a ballplayer he was. "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." And "You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six."
A class act and a great ballplayer. It's going to suck not seeing him at old timer's day next year in the Bronx. He always seemed to have a smile on his face and just be out there enjoying life as best as he could.
