I remember when I was a kid seeing seeing his 1968 baseball card and thinking he was some old guy.

That was 50 years ago!!

He had the happy circumstance of managing Bob Gibson’s peak years.

I was fortunate to have met him on two occasions. Once with Stan Musial. Got both autographs, then once again at Spring Training 30 years ago. He stood and signed autographs for all who asked him, then he went on his way home after the game. Was a true gentleman. Throwback to a different era.

As a 4th generation Cardinals fan, I’m in mourning. :-(
