I've also only heard good things about him.
RIP Le Grand Orange

I was at the World series game in 1973 when Rusty went 4 for 4, and that is my best memory of him. He was an important part of the history of the Mets and the Colt 45's. Great hitter, great personality. Sad day.

Damn, that's sad. Just the other day I was watching the Mets and the announcer had said he'd seen Rusty earlier that day and he was in high spirits.

Believe he's still the only player with 500 hits for 4 different teams. Loved the final act of his career with the Mets, but I have always had a weird thinks for pinch hitters. Also loved Cliff Johnson and Manny Mota.

I think Pete Rose did it too.
Nope, not Rose. Just looked it up. But I thought two players did it. Last edited by barrysloate; 03-29-2018 at 08:23 AM. |

Daily News article indicates that Rusty's charity served more than nine million meals to hungry people. Damm.

A tip of the hat to my fellow Jesuit Blue Jay. Requiescat in pace, Mr. Staub.
