The only thing bigger than Dave Henderson's smile was his heart. Early this morning that heart gave out and we have lost another Dave. Dave Henderson is gone at the young age of 57.

A lot will be written about Hendu the baseball player -and it should be, he had a marvelous career- but the Hendu I got to know was so much more. Yes, he was that larger than life figure, huge smile, loud voice, right about everything in a friendly matter-of-fact-way, of course. The bravado was always positive however. Hendu was a guy who was always up and wanted everyone around him to be up as well.
