Charlie Mundi About 10 day(s) ago Lou was my favorite baseball player, and here's why. When I was a kid, my Dad and I went to Atlanta many times to see the Braves, and most of the time, we saw them play the Cardinals. We met Lou at the hotel the first time we saw the Cardinals, and he treated us like he'd known us for years. We talked with him for over an hour. A year later, we went to see the Cardinals play the Braves again, saw Lou at the Hotel, and he remembered us. One of the greatest baseball players ever - On and Off the field. Rest in peace, my Friend.
