  1. One of my favourite players from the 80s. I must have bought a hundred packs of 1987 Topps minis to get his card.

    Rest in peace buddy.

  2. He was a great player and a terrific person. 54 is very young.

  3. That’s terrible news. Such a good guy.

  4. One of the truly great people in baseball, on and off the field.

    RIP and you will be missed, Tony.

  5. Fucking chewing tobacco.

    I used to love watching that guy hit. He put on clinics.
