One of the all-time greatest guys you'd ever meet IRL, a career Minor Leaguer I watched him play for years in the 80's for the AAA Indianapolis Indians in that time frame I saw some really great Major Leaguers roll through like Deliano Deshields, Marquis Grissom,Andres Gallarraga , Larry Walker, and some Big Lug with a wild arm and 100mph Fasball named Randy Johnson long before he was "The Big Unit". This was after having the joy of watching the Indians as the Cincinnati Reds farm team in the 70's as they built the Big Red Machine. Man, looking back I saw some really great Players before they ever stepped foot onto a ML Diamond. How Lucky I was indeed!
