Based on the reports yesterday, this seemed like it was going to happen soon. Also many players said good bye to him while he was in the hospital. Ninety-nine years is a long time. He lived a good life and his influence on sports was unmatched.

Peace

I really enjoyed watching the replays of games along with some interviews on ESPN Classic this weekend.

I still thought Larry Kenon and Memphis St. had a chance to win when I watched it! Kenon was one of my favorite players as a kid!

There will never be another one like him. If you have not read his books, I recommend you would do so.
