Best fielding third baseman I ever saw. 1970 World Series, he was on it. RIP.

He was very good, second best 3rd Base player of his day. Mike Schmidt was better, but if you wanted only defense and could pinch hit for him, he was the best. In baseball, you must do both. I will never forget the series he had back in the day when baseball really meant something, you could never forget it.

He destroyed my Reds in that series. I was 11 and brokenhearted. LoL
