I saw him up close recently at a card signing exhibit. He was in a wheelchair and really looked old. But wow, is he a huge man. His arms alone were gigantic.
I saw him (on television) a few years ago at a Giants commemoration of some type and he was in a wheelchair then.
I know he had numerous knee surgeries which are probably really taking their toll right about now.
