I remember when I 1st watched him play in Tacoma, getting his autograph, he was one of my favorite players before he was out of Single A. I was so exited to watch him at Safeco. When I herd h died, I nearly broke out in tears. The player I had watched, followed, looked up to and knowing he was going to be the next Ryan Braun or Jacoby Ellsbury. The world just lost a really great guy.
