Visitor Comments: Mitch F. from Brooklyn wrote, "Dave Winfield was my favorite player after Thurman Munson died until the day he retired. He played hard and hustled like Pete Rose. Winnie is actually a really good person, giving back to the community and fans. He was a role model in professional sports which is not very common these days. Strangely, as an older person now, I look back on the reasons I appreciated Winnie for being a good man and I am proud that I felt that way about a ball player when I was a teenager. I was happy for him when he won in Toronto. Keep up the good work Dave."
