Idiosyncratic, blunt, free-spirited. Not your typical jock (which is why they hung the nickname “Spaceman” on him, and not completely affectionately). He just tried a comeback this year in Single-A ball, at the age of 63. He’s a true original.

A pretty good pitcher, though.

I’m going to have to sit, think and push hard on that one.
