A great baseball player who finished 66th on the career hit list, won a batting title, and never struck out three times in a game. But sadly best remembered for one terrible moment in an otherwise accomplished career.
I was fortunate to be at game 6, still and forever more the best baseball game I will ever see in person, and saw the ball go through his legs from behind-my seats were in short right field so I saw only his back when he leaned over to field it. That's an angle you never see on tape.
A decent man who deserved better. RIP
