One outstanding man; I hated to hear that he died today. I got a chance to meet him after the 1991 World Series. He came down with another several Twins players after the Series to go hunting and I happened to meet him then. Nothing special about it but just getting to meet someone very humble and gracious to spend a little time talking to a kid from the area.
