I thought he was an awesome player. It's such a shame. Awfully young to leave...

I remember going with a bus full of people to Tiger Stadium to watch him. He was so much fun to watch. I felt bad though that he'd vomit before every inning. Too bad he got hurt and couldn't go on! He was such a character and was the real deal.
