Wow. So many of the greats passing in 2020. He was one of my all time favorites. In my youth, I usually played 2nd base, and wanted to be like Joe. I liked the way he flapped that arm when he was at the plate. It helped me with my stance.Quote:
"Joe wasn't just the best second baseman in baseball history, he was the best player I ever saw and one of the best people I've ever known," Johnny Bench said. "He was a dedicated father and husband and a day won't go by that I won't think about his wisdom and friendship. He left the world a better, fairer, and more equal place than he found it, and inspired millions along the way."
