I was thankful to know Boo on a personal level. That man took pride in remembering almost everyone he ever met and it was impressive. He told me a story once when he pitched against the SF giants and they had some young hot shot come up to bat. Boo threw one under his chin, and the next pitch the young hot shot hammered it. After the game, the giants coach came up to Boo and thanked him for throwing at the kid bc they were unsure how he could handle it. That kid was Willie Mays

I can attest to that memory. Every player he ever coached, he would remember them for either a Bday or Christmas card...long after graduation. He was a guys guy to the fullest.
