the hardest playing guy I ever watched. He actually did hustle on everything, even walks. His play was the best to watch. I loved him as a player.

Watching him play in front of Frank Robinson was awesome. I think he ran hard because Frank would have killed him if he didn't.

I can't find footage of that. Just pics

I loved how he went balls out on everything.

Took it to the limit.

Probably. I hardly go to Vegas, but I have already seen him twice doing autographs at a memorabilia store inside Cesar's Palace.
