Loved that guy

 

[GAVol]

What a life.

Met Babe Ruth.

Played with Jackie Robinson.

Got beaned and was unconscious for two weeks which led to NLB adopting the batting helmet.

Was coaching 3rd base when Carlton Fisk hit the famous walk off HR in the 75 WS.

Was one of the original NY Mets and was an original coach for the Rockies.

Coached alongside Joe Torre for all those Yankee WS titles.

Dude was the Forrest Gump of baseball.

I'll never forget him and Pedro. That will be replayed 100 years from now.

And the Padres and the Red Sox and the Cubs.

Those jobs pale in comparison. Imo. Fwiw.

 

[YankeeVol]

And the Padres and the Red Sox and the Cubs.

And the Yankees temporarily.

 

[TXA&M07]

One of the few remaining "baseball men" that did it for their entire life. What a run he had, and all those historical MLB events he was involved in. Sad to hear of his passing.

SportsCenter had a thing on him this morning. I didn't realize the guy have been in baseball that long. 66 years. RIP Zimmer.
