Pneumonia took him out. What a legend, RIP to the Man of Steal.

I saw this while on the phone. I paused for minute without realizing. The guy was a rookie while my mother was in high school and retired in my senior year in high school. We may never see a greater leadoff hitter or base stealer like him. May he RIP.

He was Nolan Ryan's 5000th strike out victim.
