A true ballplayer if there ever was one. Was a joy to watch him play through the years.
It hasnt been a joy for a few years now. It has been painful. I can't knock anyone for making a couple of million dollars to play baseball but he has been a shell of himself for several years now. But the funny thing is that the guy who is a first ballot HoF'er with 635 HR's, 10 gold gloves, 11 silver sluggers, a 13 time all star amongst other plaudits may very well be more remembered as a "what if" guy, as in what if he had stayed healthy...than for his actual accomplishments. In his prime he was a monster.
