Went to a baseball camp he was doing when I was a kid and got my glove signed. He was real good with us kids, not an ass at all. Unfortunately for me I kept using that glove and have know idea what happened to it.

RIP Hit King. He could just never be honest with himself and others about his gambling until it was too late. Doesn't diminish how great he was on the field and he loved the game of baseball more than just about any player who has ever worn a MLB jersey. His collision at the plate with Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game was a good personification of his spirit and passion for baseball. He could be a real jack-ass off the field but he was far from the only one. Have a peek at Ty Cobb's history. Amazing player / miserable asshole of a person. Makes Pete Rose seem like a choirboy....
