I’ll never forget him rounding 1st literally dying for air!
Him and Dave Winfield on the same team
LEGEND
RIP
One of my worst moments as a kid was when we trade my favorite player at that time, Dante Bichette, who was on the rise for Dave Parker who was pushing 40. Parker lasted a year and Dante went on to have a great career. Angels did a lot of that in the late 80s-90s, trading young talent for old has-beens.
I’m copying and pasting what I posted in r/baseball:
Oh shit. That’s too bad.
I have two memories from when he played in Anaheim. One day during a mid-week day game, some kid asks for his autograph saying he ditched school to either see him play or get his autograph, can’t remember precisely. Dave answered something like:’ Sorry, school is more important than watching a baseball game,’ and walked off.
There was also a T-shirt when Winfield was also with the Angels, which said ‘Mom always said there’d be Dave’s like this.’ 😅

RIP Cobra, and condolences to his family.
