Who knows how many HR's Kiner would have hit if he played other than in that massive baseball cathedral in Pittsburgh.....
Didn't he date Elizabeth Taylor in the day? A close friend and supporter of Hank Greenberg when others discriminated... Will miss the host of Kiner's Korner who was beloved to his Met fans.....Lindsay Nelson, Bob Murphy and Ralph Kiner; the Hall-of Fame broadcast booth..... RIP, my man !!!!

Quite a man. Watched hundreds.. thousands.. of WOR games with my dad and so many Kiner's Korners. As a player, an under-rated titan. As a broadcaster, often funny unintentionally, he equally had a great way of presenting baseball's nuances in easy to understand terms. Sad to see him go. Will never be forgotten.

As a Met fan, you had to love him. Just so much fun to listen to.
