I first met Eugene as a young vita cubs right fielder way back. I grew up in vita and knew the Picklyk family well. This family was talented on so many fronts. I was always getting pointers playing with big guys. The world has lost a good man and is poorer for it. vichnya panmyet. Until we meet at the ball field in the sky. - Posted by: ronnie bugera (former teammates vita cubs) on: Dec 07, 2025
