    Rest in Peace Don Sutton. I never knew you as a pitcher, but almost every night during the summer, your voice would come through my TV or radio. You will always be a Brave to me.

    i just watched this video for the first time in my life. tears are rolling down my face. wow, such an incredible speech. his level of erudition and gratitude is positively breathtaking. i am still in shock that he has now passed away, and at such a relatively young age. i hope his family can take some comfort knowing that they played such a central role in his remarkable life

    If their were a Hall of Fame for poignant & articulate acceptance speeches, then Don Sutton's would have been a 1st ballot.

      i am surprised that he wasn't inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on the first ballot during the first year of his eligibility

    Some of the Dodgers came to my high school and played basketball. It was just a feel good bit of fun. Sutton sat next to me and my dad and talked with us for a long time. Just regular talk. My dad was really into stocks and gave him a little lecture. Sutton actually seemed interested. I was awed that he was a Dodger, but I never guessed he'd end up in the Hall.
