          Fixed the headline.

            @ttyymmnn Damn, that sucks. He seemed like a humble guy. Still the Home Run King as far as I'm concerned. (Not anything to do with PEDs, I just think Bonds is an asshole, so to hell with him. )

                Ah, crap. Hell of a man, and a life lived. Seemed like a really fun guy in interviews, too.

                  @ttyymmnn I feel gutted hearing this said news. May he rest in peace.
                  ...wasn't expecting 2021 to tell us GFY so quickly like this, but that's life.

                    There were similar comments back when Sean Connery died. As I said then, he lived a hell of a life, brought us some great movies (with the possible exception of Zardoz) and died in the Bahamas. Hell of a run. And same for Hank Aaron.

                      @ttyymmnn A great human and a great ballplayer who had to put up with a lot of shit, and handled it in stride.
