What an awesome player he was. A 3000 hit guy, so he was obviously a great hitter. He was a great fielder, too. He won 12 consecutive gold glove awards in his 18 years. I remember the day he died, it was a sad day for everyone. He died on a humanitarian mission to help earthquake victims. He was elected to the HoF with the 5 year waiting period waived. He would have been elected no matter.
