we've known his brother for a while & anything I could say re what a "quality guy" Rick is
wouldn't do him justice

Here is an excellent article that Dad04 shared re: Eckstein. It provides a philosophical road map for the young player - not only how to succeed in baseball, but in life as well. Please note that there is more than one page in the article

Does he have ties here? We met him as well at a local training facility where he was doing some clinics.
Cute note from a local STL sportswriter noting the 'best moments' from the celebration:
3. The irony of David Eckstein winning a new car. The man drives a 5-year-old Toyota Avalon. The Cardinal parking lot for players looks like Plaza Motors. Then you have Eckstein with his old beat-up Avalon. I bet his wife takes the vette and he sticks with the Avalon.
