OT: Whitey Herzog Dead at 92

[RUhasarrived]

The bane of the late 80's Mets' dynasty has passed away.

Won some games for the Royals too. But I always remember one of the sports columnists around here (can't remember which one) labeling him the "White Rat." It stuck, at least in this area.

I know you're kidding but I think it was more about his hair than his complexion.

 

[RUTGERS95]

thought he was a very good manager

if his Cards teams had better middle relief and one more ace, who knows

What about the album Whitey Ford made with the opening track The White Boy is Back?



Whitey Ford could really tell you what it's like.

Good baseball man. Believed in defense, speed on the bases & line drive hitting. Can't argue with that.
RIP Whitey!

RIP Whitey, remember you well

Herzog was the Mets director of Player Development from 1967 to 1973. Pretty productive years.
