[Dback Jon]

Growing up a Cubs Fan, he was the bomb with his split fingered fastball.

Then he became the enemy.

RIP!

I remember him well. Before making it to and pitching in the bigs, he discovered gold in California which led to the famous CA gold rush at a place named after him called Sutter's Mill in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. He and his father and I, when not panning for gold, began the skiing craze at a resort later named after us called the Sissy Bowl.
