Phil Esposito fan
Susan WatkinsI think the three most exciting players of all time are Phil Esposito, Tony Esposito, and Bobby Orr. Phil has been my hero, idol, and inspiration since 1970. Your "Bin File" on him [February 2004] was really nice. The question I have about Phil is when did he retire as a player? I am also curious about the date Maurice "Rocket" Richard passed away?

Rocket Richard succumbed to abdominal cancer on May 27, 2000.
