Mets SNY just played a Brut commercial starring Frank Howard, leading Keith Hernandez and Gary Cohen to talk about Hondo. "Just a nice, nice guy, and a hard worker. He wanted his players to succeed. He'd hit balls to you all day, pitch batting practice for hours. Just a fine human being. So strong...look at his hands in this picture. Six foot eight and 280 pounds. He didn't lose patience very often, but once, two of our guys were getting into it. One of them was a pitcher almost as big as Frank, but Frank picked him up by the collar, lifted him into the air, and growled, 'Stop doing this'. That was enough".
