That's unfortunate. He was a lot of fun to watch on those A's teams.

Rickey currently at the gates of heaven to St. Peter:

"Please let Rickey in. Rickey did a lot of good things on Earth. Rickey will be the greatest of all time in heaven too"

Damn. That sucks.

Not good to see sports heroes of the 1980s start dropping off.

Funny story, but Olerud has publicly said it didn't happen.
