'Sign Man of Shea' passes away at age 83

I'm not a Mets fan, in fact with the newly acquired ace Johan Santana I loathe them even more. 

However, above all else I am a baseball fan and with the recent passing of the legend Karl Ehrhardt I am proud to call myself a Mets fan for a day.

The Associated Press wrote a great tribute to Ehrhardt, he may be better known known as the 'sign man of Shea' click the link below, and spend a minute of your time to read about a man who was truly the epitome of a die-hard fan.

From 1964-1981 the 'sign-man' was a common sight at Shea Stadium cheering on his beloved Mets.
