Baseball’s great catalyst and a Hall of Famer.
Had the single season record for stolen bases in 1982.
Two time World Series champion, the Oakland A’s in 1989 and the Toronto Blue Jays in 1993.
Broke the all-time record for leadoff homers.
Confident and self assured.
Appreciated record holders.
Shook Nolan Ryan’s hand after Ryan set the all time strikeout record.
Very talkative and knew players from other teams.
A rare right-handed hitter and threw left-handed ala Cleon Jones of the amazing Mets.
A colorful defender and caught flies with one hand.
Experienced in pressure games, a true gamer.
Wanted to play for an Independent League after retirement.
Such the ultimate and charismatic player.
Baseball lost this true ambassador..
Remembrance of his number 24, who would scoot around the bases.
May he graciously rest in peace.
