Here is the announcement for the Pirates Official Site.



RIP The Quail



I was fortunate to see him play most of his career in Pgh. This guy was great. I think he could have played MLB into his 50's because he was in such good shape.

Classy guy. A true ambassador of the game.

I had the pleasure of meeting him a number of times at fantasy camps. Even in his 70s he was fit and put on the Pirate uniform and ran down balls in CF.



A book will be out next spring titled "Bill Virdon: A Life in Baseball" by David Jerome.

What a terrific Pirates player he was. And a good man to boot. Thanks for the great memories, Quail.

My grandma's favorite player. RIP.

I think many of us had the opportunity to watch him when were

youngsters. Always quiet and non-assuming. Always played hard and led by example. He owned Center Field!

A fond and sad farewell to my favorite Pirate of all time. RIP Quail, #18.

I hope the Pirates will wear an "18" patch on their uniforms next year.

I watched him play many a game, always liked him a great centerfielder and person.   Those were the days what a line up with Stargell, Clemente, Virdon, just incredible players.

RIP
