    The Brewers either had AI write this or they have a really caring person that was able to write a touching goodbye. I actually can't tell.

    RIP

    Baseball needs more characters like the old days. All pro sports do, actually.

    May he rest in peace.

    I'll say it's real



    The first pic of his baseball card, he's batting LH. He did not bat LH, he just did it as a joke. He said "Hell, nobody else noticed me hitting either" or something like that.
