Guy, you and I share similar memories growing up.
I lived a 20 minute walk from the Olympic Stadium, and a 90 minute bus, subway, subway, and bus to Jarry Park. And when you're 10, 11, or 12 years old, it simply didn't matter. As I've said before, a small part of my youth disappears forever when someone of this stature (for me) passes on. I still have the newspaper clipping when he was traded to the Mets for Jorgensen, Singleton, and Foli. Thanks for the childhood memories, Mr. Staub.

I don't remember every detail of a game I was at but he came up very late in a Mets game as a pinch hitter. Clutch situation, hits a long drive that just goes foul. Then he hits a HR.
RIP Rusty.

Rusty Staub was one of those guys who could roll out of bed and spray line drives all over the field. I only ever saw him during the last 5-6 years of his career and he never looked like much of a ballplayer physically. Even when he was at the plate, his stance never screamed "this guy can hit". But my goodness could he hit.
RIP Rusty. Thanks for the memories.
