He will be missed...
Great player and good to talk to as well.
Met him at the 1991 All Star Game in Toronto and was able to chat with him for approx 20 mins. We are almost the same age and looking back on it now, I believe he midly enjoyed the non-baseball, peer to peer nature of the chat (I was clerking in a in-Hotel men's tie and shirt store that Griff ran into to escape from the press for a while.).
As luck would have it, my fiancee and I attended the game last month in Seattle, in which Ken got his last hit - a pinch hit, game winning, bottom of the ninth, rbi single.
He beat my Jays with the hit (wasn't the first time...but will be the last...and that's good, but still a bit sad.).
