Gripe: "Lost His Battle With Alcoholism"?

[JPatrick]

Great quotes.  I'm thinking perhaps he and Yogi shared the same family tree.

Great anecdotes, Honkie. I wish we had more like him today, willing to be who they are, rather than those who mouth the pious marketing oriented BS that is typical of athletes today.

Just one more proof that the world really is turning to crap.

HaHa - agreed. He was a real bloke, with real human problems and was never afraid to be himself, admit to them and say, Hey, this is me, I am not proud of my failings, but I am not ashamed ether."

Makes a refreshing change from the plastic, packaged, talentless non-entities who largely pass as "celebreties" these days.

Cheers
