  Anonymous said: Grew up in the Lemon Hill neighborhood of Sacramento with his son and daughters. Very quiet man, I would not have guessed he was an MLB player of such stature. He never spoke of his baseball playing past, and would come to our ball games and watch but say nothing. His son was a good kid and good catcher, and his daughters and wife were very much part of our working class neighborhood. Buck Martinez grew up two blocks from where Bruce and his family lived, and also had three brothers who played ball with us. Lots of Sacramento area players were or had been in the majors during the 50's - 80's. Every once in a while he would take out a bat or his catchers glove and play with us. RIP Bruce. 4:40PM 11/17/11
