Beloved Met, Astro, Tiger and Expo too. His work with the New York Police and Fire Widows and Children's Benefit Fund, which he established, was wonderful too. RIP Rusty.

Sad news. Rusty was a class act. Today is opening day in NY for the Mets.
Rest in peace.

Le grand orange was how he was known to Expo fans. RIP.

Weird, I was just thinking of Rusty Staub this morning. They were discussing first baseball memories on the radio, this morning. Mine was 1977 Angels vs. Tigers, with my little league team. I remember only two things about that game: Frank Tanana pitched for the Angels (I knew the name from my Kellogg 3-D baseball cards), and Rusty Staub fouled a pitch back up into the screen and it stuck there, the rest of the game.
Much underrated ball player. RIP.

Sad to see players of his caliber go.
May Mr. Staub rest in peace; may Almighty God welcome him home with open arms.

I remember him well, especially with the Expos... Le Grande Orange!
I read a feature on him back in the 1970s.. he was also quite the chef as well.

He was called the Le Grande Orange while he played in Montreal. As a Mets fan he was one of the few lights during the Mets miserable run during the 70s/early 80s. I remember he had incredible year pinch hitting for the Mets during the 1983 season tying the National League record for consecutive pinch hits.

What a man! Loved watching him play in his lunch-bucket, workmanlike manner. Great hitter, great right-fielder w/ a cannon arm. Couldn’t run a lick, but made the rest of the game look easy, which it isn’t.

A good man. We, me,wife and kids, ate in his restaurant. It was kind of upscale and when he saw the kids came over and chatted with us for awhile. He had a pretty full house so it was very kind of him to stop by.
