He took me under his wing, and I put my trust in him. He was like a father figure to me. I think the world of the guy. He just has that certain aura about him that is so different from any other human being I've ever met.

"Warren Livingston Cromartie" (born September 29, 1953, in Miami Beach, Florida) is a retired United States/American baseball player best remembered for his early career with the Montreal Expos. He and fellow young outfielders Ellis Valentine and Andre Dawson were the talk of Major League Baseball when they came up together with the Expos in the late seventies.
Nicknamed ""Cro"", he was incredibly popular with the fans in Montreal. When Standard Brands introduced the "Reggie Bar" in honor of Reggie Jackson's heroics in the World Series, Cromartie joked in an interview that he wanted a candy bar named after him. Shortly afterwards, he got his wish; the CroBar (almonds in 100% chocolate) was a popular item sold at Olympic Stadium (Montreal)/Olympic Stadium with the proceeds going to Juvenile Diabetes.
