I wonderful appreciation of the man. I followed only the God-fearing National League, and so know only very little about the Upstart American League. But I remember Howard because he was huge, I think the biggest baseball player I ever saw. About 6'7" and between 255 and 275 lbs.

I met Mr. Howard 20 years ago in Florida at a fundraiser featuring two dozen retired ballplayers. It was the time of year all players and it seemed many former players were coming south. One of the finest gentlemen I've ever met. We were discussing Harmon Killebrew and Mr. Howard tells me "Harmon was just a little guy but his shoulders were this huge". Great article on a life well lived.
