    I saw Gordon's lead off homer as he broke down crying after rounding the bases. Very emotional I had a hard time not tearing up myself.

    I'll catch it on quick pitch tomorrow AM, probably just as emotional as the dinger Murcer hit against the Orioles after Thurman passed. I really liked Fernandez, always remarked how he appreciated this Country, thankful for all his blessings.

    Yeah. Tough not to tear up. Thurman's death was excruciating difficult for me. I really
    feel for Fernandez' teammates. Same with Thurman's teammates......really distraught.

    Just saw the high lights on Quick Pitch this AM and for a fitting tribute to Fernandez all went pretty much as it should have. Rocks ones emotions for sure.

    Last night's Marlin's game and tribute to Jose was grand, fit for the King he was. It's always harder to lose someone suddenly un-expected IMO, than those who know they're passing a year in advance....

    When I watched Jose pitch, (and with MLB Xtra Innnings), I missed only 2 of his starts this year. Loved this kid since he burst onto the scene. The ESPN Magazine Tribute to "The Cuban Invasion" circa 2014, portrayed Jose in a make believe world, that he held its golden balls....

    Jose also reminded me alot of a young gun, who you know if he only can stay healthy with a long career, then we would of been looking at the making of a future Hall of Famer; in the presence of....
