Rusty Staub
José Antonio Abreu, founder of El Sistema in Venezuela. I don't know as much about this as I likely should, but I've heard enough beautiful music coming from young people taught in this system to be in awe.

When I was a kid we went to the old Rangers stadium to see them play the Yankees. Staub was at bat and hit a long ball out toward Reggie Jackson, who thought it went out and turned around with his arms folded to watch Staub round the bases. The ball actually hit the top of the wall, stayed in the field of play, and bounced to a stop about ten feet behind Jackson. The other Yankees came running and shouting at Reggie, who quickly grabbed the ball and threw it to the infield. Had it been any other player it would have been an in the park home run. Staub, who was never known for his speed, made it to third. Great memory from my first live baseball game. RIP

Even though he only played 4 seasons total for the Expos, Staub is a folk legend in Montreal. Maybe not as much as Gary Carter, but pretty close.
My memories of him though are of his time with the Tigers. He had 3 outstanding seasons with them at a time when the team was not good...no they sucked. He and Mark Fidrych were the stars of an otherwise grim 1976 season.
RIP Rusty.
