Prayers and Thoughts Are With His Loved Ones RIP!

I remember getting his baseball card with a Topps pack as a kid along with that awful piece of hard, dry chewing gum.

Fleet and Topps cards were the rage.

He went into the Hall of Fame with George Brett in 1999 as well

I loved watching him play. RIP

Dang all those old time Giants are passing on. RIP
