If Brooks Robinson was a universal role model of a nice guy, Frank Howard was right behind him. Terrific man.

I PC Frank Howard. I never saw him play, but as a child I recall seeing him on a card, possibly the 1967 Topps, and reading how tall he was and being so in awe of that fact.

I'm glad to hear he had a good reputation.

Rest in peace, Mr. Howard.

Wow, just got home and logged on. What awful news. I've heard similar sentiments as others - he seemed to be a really nice guy from what I've read.
