after 22 seasons.

Certain first ballot HoF.

I can't find the video of him and John Kruk from the All Star game.

They played the conference call on espn where he announced his retirement and took questions.  One of the questions was which hat he'll wear in the hall of fame.

He was evasive with his answer.  I tend to think of him as a Mariner, but he had great success with the Diamondbacks.

Great pitcher.  Kruk at the plate with him in the all-star game was classic.  My father and I met him at a Warren Spahn award ceremony years back.  He seems like an ass on and off the field but I'd be in the fetal position in the batter's box with him on the mound.
