One of the greatest of his time, if not all time. Also a proud American hero. Unfortunately, people hate him for being 'bitter' towards today's players, which I think wrongly colors his wonderful career. Hopefully, he'll be remembered alongside the likes of Seaver, Johnson, Ryan, Koufax, and others as among the most dominant pitchers in MLB history.

As you say, he was a real hero in the military as well as a sports hero. One of the greats. | StaggerLee

I had never heard of him really so I found a book in the library that told an abridged tale of his life. Seemed like a great man. | Corajudo
