Default RIP Rusty Staub

Knew it was coming but still a gut punch.

He was a wonderful person. Did a lot for other people. I dont have a lot of expectations for the hereafter, but if there is a place good people go who showed charity towards others he is a lock.

RIP Le Grand Orange

I was at the World series game in 1973 when Rusty went 4 for 4, and that is my best memory of him. He was an important part of the history of the Mets and the Colt 45's. Great hitter, great personality. Sad day.

Damn, that's sad. Just the other day I was watching the Mets and the announcer had said he'd seen Rusty earlier that day and he was in high spirits.

Believe he's still the only player with 500 hits for 4 different teams. Loved the final act of his career with the Mets, but I have always had a weird thinks for pinch hitters. Also loved Cliff Johnson and Manny Mota.
