R/D Lakernation faithful here to share a moment of grief with my fellow hobbyists. You made the lives you touched better, sir. You provided words of wisdom, a sense of worth, ethic, and motivation for youths and misguided souls for ages to come. Your spirit lives on in honor and determination of the lessons well learned. I am grateful to the circumstances of how you were gifted to this world. Love you.

RIP. His signature never changes and is a willing signer. I still own his personally signed card ungraded. Never selling it, it will passed on.

Yes as far as I saw looked like he had many more years in him.

He had just about the perfect career arc of a player that transitioned to management as he might have been a greater executive than player and that is something to say.

I hope the tribute tonight lives up to what he was as a player and executive for the league.
