I remember reading about the night the Royals gave him when he was ill, and how some of his old teammates cried when they saw him...made me cry, too.
I also remember an incredible quote from that time...Quiz said, "I never asked, 'Why me?' Why NOT me?"
Mostly, I remember a guy who crafted an excellent ML career out of a little bit of physical athleticism and a lot of brains and guts, and who was a brilliant, funny, and intelligent man, by all accounts."I throw him four wide ones, then try to pick him off first base." - Preacher Roe on pitching to MusialComment
