As Someone who grew up obsessed with the game of baseball, I can say that Pedro Gomez legitimately seemed like one of the better guys in the game. He knew his stuff, paved the way for minorities, and gave everyone the time of day. Based on the outpouring of support from colleagues and fans who have met him, it seems like Pedro Gomez was a very caring man.

The MLB will be a worse place without Pedro Gomez in it. RIP to a legend.
