A sad farewell

Well, it's a sad day for me, as we say goodbye to the player who got me interested in baseball, the "Bird". There I was, a strapping 13 year old when he came on TV, talking to the baseball and stomping around the mound. I thought to myself, what a crazy guy, but I loved to watch him anyway, and foundly remember the 19 wins and rookie of the year award. I will miss you Bird, your career and life ended too soon.
