I'd never read this article before (written in 1999 for Forbes) but Deadspin posted it today. One of the best baseball articles I've ever read:

Hope I linked that OK, apologies if I didn't.

    Long article is long(he said smarmly with tears in his eyes).

    Thanks for sharing - fantastic article. Of all the Yankees from that era (I was and still am a Red Sox fan), he was the one I respected the most. Shame he had to die so young and so tragically.

    He was the reason that I, as an 8 year old little league catcher in northeast Alabama became a Yankee fan for life.
