This is sad news, he was fun to watch because he was clearly having fun playing the game. I remember a Brewers-A's game at County Stadium in Milwaukee in the late 80s/early 90s. There was an extremely long injury delay followed by a pitching change during which the stadium started playing music. Hendu was in right that day and my friends and I, kids at the time, were up front way down the 1st base line. We started shouting "dance, Hendu, dance" at him because he looked like he liked the music. He smiled at first but when we persisted he started actually dancing for everyone (while laughing). That is one of my fondest baseball memories from my childhood. RIP Hendu.
