I had "known" him for 10 years thanks to an email list we shared, but never realized his health was so poor. Was very sad to hear of Greg’s passing.

Must have been a re-cycled article from before the Red Sox acquired AGon. Gammons left out Adrian Gonzalez. Must have been a re-cycled article from before the Red Sox acquired AGon.

I recall a monster shot at the Twins new stadium, and the other day I was flipping around and landed on the Yankees 3 grand slam game against the A's. Jones hit the last hr of the day deep into the left field seats. He crushes lefties. Should definitely be deployed often against southpaws.

MLB/The HOF need to make a ruling on how Steroids effect voting. This guilty until proven innocent crap has got to go.

Nah. Sad news about Greg. I knew him, not well, but we had a meal once and spoke over the phone a number of times. I knew he'd been ill most of his life. Forty-four is too young, man. Morris? Nah.
