I will always remember him for taking a healthy swing at the ball every time. No choke and poke in his arsenal.

He had taken a position a year or so ago in the White Sox front office but never officially retired. Hes from my home town and I've met him a few times, one of the nicest humblest guys you'll meet. Played the game right
