He knew a lot about the game. His and my style were very similar -– we’re both analytical. We spent hours talking about the game and at-bats and situations. I very much enjoyed my time playing with him. I learned a lot from him. It’s a shame because he probably would’ve had a great career in coaching.” Chris Burke, Houston Astros “He'd do anything to make the club. He's a guy who if you asked to catch, he'd say yes. A lifer, basically. He just wanted to stay in the game because he had that personality.” Joe Torre, New York Yankees manager “He was a great teammate. A good guy. I just remember he always had his kids around. He always took time to hang out with his family and play with his kids.
