When I was a kid growing up a few miles from Angel Stadium, Jim Fregosi was not only the best player on the Angels, he was the best player they ever had. I have many great memories watching him play. Rest in peace, Jim, and prayers to your family ...

Me too. I split time between the Angels and Dodgers, but in the day it was Fregosi (and maybe Alex Johnson) who were the studs for the Angels. RIP Jim.

Although Fregosi won the N.L. pennant with the Phillies in '93, he always had a rather, um, acrimonious relationship with the sports media while in Philadelphia, especially the city's all-sports radio station in town (WIP). Even years after Fregosi was fired by the Phillies, his famous comment to some Phillies beat writers about the city's all-sports station and its listening base took on a life of its own.

As much as even winning the pennant, Fregosi became known in town for this quote.

"People who listen to WIP are a bunch of guys in South Philly that **** their sisters, and the people that work at WIP **** their mothers."
