In 1984 the Twins played their last 6 or 7 games in Chicago and Cleveland with a chance to win the division, so me and a friend hit the road to cheer them on. It was the first time I saw him up close and got to talk to him, and I have very fond memories of those games, (even though I remember it being really cold, and they lost every game). I go to FL most years for spring training games, and he would always come over and say hi. He was a hell of a baseball player, and always cheerful and good-humored! I miss him to this day.
