Rest In Peace, Don Zimmer.
Of course I remember him most as a member of the 1955 World Champion Brooklyn Dodgers.

Truly a baseball ICON!!! Never worked in any other "field", nor cashed anything other than a baseball check...Was married in a home plate ceremony in 1951...66 consecutive years in the game as player, coach, manager, adviser...And in the last few years, he changed his uniform number, every year, to reflect his "years in the game"!!!

R.I.P. "Zim"!!!

Though my biggest memory of Zimmer was the 2003 ALCS (Game 3), he's defiantly an Icon for MLB.

A very sad time for the Game..

I still think that was a Dick Move by Pedro Martinez.
