Yowza!!! Saw him at a show out here last fall and he still looked hale and hearty as he sat sipping his Jamba Juice. What a shame. Rest in peace, Baby Bull.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Orlando, hell of a hitter and could really turn on the fastball. Also, 1’st DH in Red Sox history and one of the 1’st 2 ever. RIP Sir.

I don't have any Orlando to share but I do hope his father can join him in Cooperstown one day:

April 15, 1958 Opening Day in San Francisco, for the first MLB game on the west coast, Orlando gets his first career hit, a home run.

April 19, 1958 Los Angeles Coliseum, Orlando gets his second career hit, also a homer.
