Staub’s life celebrated, remembered in NYC

They came out of the rain on Fifth Avenue and out of the ’60s and ’70s and ’80s and up the steps and into St. Patrick’s Cathedral to say goodbye to Rusty Staub, who became a prince of his city, who was not just a baseball star in New York, but a hero to the families of cops and firemen long before Sept. 11, 2001. This was a day, then, almost a month exactly after Rusty’s death, about a life well lived.
