Yeah me neither. Read his book though, really good and it gives you a good account of what kind of player he was. Seen some highlights and talked to my dad about him. In a way kind of like the Jackie Robinson for Latin players.

For sure. He's unreal in what he can do. Even now. When he played for the Giants I went to go see them play the Rockies quite a few times and some of the plays he made were amazing. I mean he would make them look easy and not that big of a deal and it would take a little bit of time to realize what you just saw.

Him and Roberto Alomar might have been the best double play combination in history. Both masters of the glove.
