I am deeply saddened and shocked at the loss of umpire Wally Bell.
Every place where I played or managed is special to me because of the memories and the friendships that each afforded me.
I knew what the Dodgers uniform represented as a kid growing up in Brooklyn.
It's not easy to just say you don't want to do something any more.
You don't catch the knuckleball, you defend against it.
You hear the word 'cancer,' it scares you. You think of death.
