July 10th, 2019. Roger Federer was warming up before his Wimbledon QF against a “kid” that JCF was training. I remember JCF saying to Roger “hit hard, he can handle it”. The kid was Carlos Alcaraz. Fast forward to 2023, he’s now a #Wimbledon champion 👑

The journey that ended in Cooperstown began for number 19 on this day July 19 of 1982. #padres vs Phillies in Mission Valley….what a history from that night forward. What a career. What a man. Rest my dear friend. We think of you always.
