    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    I wouldn't have guessed that he was still alive.

    95 years old...not bad at all...especially with a career in the greatest summer game ever invented called baseball.

    RIP

    Red was a HOFer more for overall contributions to the game than being a particularly great player, but he was a very good player. And while his offensive contributions were what they were, it might increase your appreciation of his hitting to know that he was essentially blind in one eye since a childhood accident. Mostly, though, Red was as great a human being as ever played the game, and St. Louis was blessed to have him for the better part of 70 years.

    R.I.P.

    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.
