R.I.P Bruce Sutter

Just wow. Darn good memories of those 80s Cards teams. Thanks for sealing the win in 82. I can still see Gorman Thomas swing and miss. One of the all time greats.

The St. Louis Cardinals organization, and baseball fans everywhere, were saddened today to learn of the passing of Hall of Famer Howard "Bruce" Sutter at the age of 69. Sutter, who was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006, was just the fourth reliever enshrined, and the first player to have never started a game to be elected. Sutter was a six-time All-Star and the 1979 N.L. Cy Young Award winner in 1979. His uniform number 42 is one of 14 numbers retired by the Cardinals.

D**n R.I.P. to a legend. Rest easy Bruce

A legendary Cub as well, this is very sad to see. R.I.P to one of the best.

First non starter to go into the HOF. He was a tremendous closer during his career. Puts life into perspective as he is was just 2 years older than me

This one hurt me a lot, for some reason.
I'll never forget always saying 'Suh-tter,' instead of 'Soo-tter,' because my grandma when she was alive lived on Suh-ter (Sutter) avenue in Brooklyn back then! -
Sutter's HOF speech was one of the few I actually saw live (I think it was on ESPN). In his closing remarks he stated "God may have taken my arm, he may have taken my hair, but he can't ever take this from me". You could tell right there how much that meant to him.
