He was my favorite player because of the way he played the game. Pete Rose was a hustler. He really loved to play the game. Kirby had the same energy as Pete Rose, but he also was flamboyant. He carried a big smile. I called Kirby a natural leader. He was vocal, but also led by example. Everything he did, he did it right and hard. Charlie Manuel
