Cy Young Award winner.

Baseball Hall of Famer
Funny, how we meet folks!!
.......
Dennis, I only met on the phone,
several times.....
I was working for a Cable Company
in the '80's.
Dennis was a customer who I sold
cable channels to and also sporting
events.
He was one of the nicest,most
humble people in sports I ever
was blessed to speak with.
No attitude, no "I am too
important to talk to you"attitude!
No answering machine.-)))
Those short moments with Dennis,
a truly accomplished person with 'real'
schedules, left their mark on me.
I won a trip to Spring Training from
ESPN as I was one of their Sport
Scouts. That trip to Afizona was the
trip of a lifetime. I got to see Dennis
play in Scottsdale.
Today, the most insignificant folks
cannot text, cannot email and worst
of all never answer their phones!
We have lost the art and loving
another in our own "Trivial Pursuits."
That's so very sad to me. I am glad
I met him prior to cell phones, texts
and emails. And the Internet!
I have a real sense of Dennis as a
Human Being, and will forever cherish
that voice, his kindness and warmth!
God Bless Dennis!
