Just happened.

Knew he had been sick for a while now, but going out on the beginning of the year. Damn. Safe journey, Governor.

Some hate:

He should have been more political, when it came to minor league baseball in the Capital District. If he spoke up more, the Albany A's/Albany-Colonie A's/Albany-Colonie Yankees/Albany-Colonie Diamond Dogs would not have been playing in the suburbs near the international airport and downtown, close to the river, so when he'd sneaked into games, we in attendance wouldn't have seen him.

I know, bad.

Front page news, in the New York Times, today.
Two page spread.
Yes, 1983- 1994 was a rough patch.
He stood firm, and did not cave in.
