He was my first baseball hero when I was 11 in 1969 he had a 25-7 record and pitched the Mets to a World Series win.He is the Mets only true Hall of Fame Player.
I was a beleaguered Cubs fan in '69 -- so in that respect, he was no hero at the time -- but I always had the grestest respect for his phenomenal talent...and for the way he carried himself 'off the field,' in real life. By all accounts a true gentleman.
Truly one of the greats. RIP.
