    A truly fine ballplayer and great ambassador for the game. He kind of had a Dale Murphy type career (though longer) in that he had a seven-year stretch when he was All-World before tailing off. NL MVP in 1958 and 1959.

    RIP to Mr Cub

    here is a picture i took of him during the hall of fame parade this past summer:

    The sad truth about the rest of the decade is that baseball is gradually going to be losing the last of its living legends, leaving us with Bonds, Canseco, McGwire....

    Cherish every day we have an Aaron, or a Mays, or a Gibson, or a Koufax to hold up against today's pretenders.
