If memory serves me, he kinda looked like Groundskeeper Willie from the Simpsons.

One of my all-time favorites. A Jersey guy who grew up and, I believe, still lives in my former neck of the woods. The classiest member of the Worst Team Money Can Buy, never embarassed himself on or off the field, always had a smile for the fans, hustled, played intelligently. Just a good guy, period.

Only in an end-of-the-year Times article did he admit how much playing for that particular team was depressing him. He described himself as feeling "humiliated" during a game against the Braves, even though he had played on bad teams before. And in an Inside Pitch interview several years afterwards, he spoke of the off-the-field controversies as being his only lingering memories of those years. While he was here, you'd have never known that he was unhappy, and that he was was quite understandable.

In the middle of arguably the worst period in Mets history (rivalled only by the last four seasons, I do maintain), he still managed to make a big fan out of me and I do not think I'm alone.

When I was a child in the mid 1980's, Dave played for our local minor league team, the Maine Guides. He became my favorite baseball player, and once he caught me cheering for him while walking from the clubhouse to the field. From that point on, whenever he would see me, he would always make it a point to come over and say hello.

Twenty years have passed since he was called up into Cleveland, but I will never forget how cool it was to see my childhood baseball hero have a successful career in the majors until after I graduated from high school.

Hopefully one day I will be able to track him down and thank him for the inspiration he gave to me as a child playing less than a half a mile from the house I own in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

Dave Gallagher was a fantastic baseball player, a gentleman and a great guy in general. By the way, his patented invention is called the Stride Tutor, and it has done a lot for him. He is also my dad.
