Zim!

Xmastime buddy Kiko Jones correctly nails Don Zimmer as the Forrest Gump of Baseball:
He was Jackie Robinson’s teammate; on the only Brooklyn Dodgers team to win a World Series; an original Met; a Red Sox coach during the incredible 1975 World Series; Red Sox manager in 1978 when the Yankees' Bucky Dent hit his legendary HR; managed the Cubs to a division title and named Manager of the Year in 1989; on the staff of the first Colorado Rockies team in 1993; and was the Yankees’ bench coach during the championship run of the late ‘90s
Anyone else shocked he's only 79? Wtf? Does time pass differently than I think  it does?
