Just heard he died. Still can't forget when he got in a fight with Pedro Martinez.

Also the last Brooklyn Dodger to still have a job in the game.

His masterful, swashbuckling job with the '89 Cubs is a wonderful memory for me.

He played for or coached 17 different MLB teams and every one of them is embracing him as their own, which is a hell of a testament to the guy.

A couple great pics of one of the game's all-time best faces.

My interest in baseball vanished 20 years ago, but I always enjoyed Zim as one of the true characters of the game. His love and devotion to the game was pure, transparent and infectious.

RIP.
