Adam West was always THE Batman to me.

When I was a kid, I didn't like the oldies like Bewitched or I Dream of Genie, but I did love the 1960s Batman with Adam West.

It had a kind of self-deprecating humor that could only have worked with the authoritative voice and commanding presence of an actor with the quality of West.

This is my favorite scene.

Although best known for his work as Batman, West starred in nearly 60 films and appeared countless times on TV in a verity of different rolls.

West died in Los Angeles on June 9, 2017 following a brief battle with leukemia. He was 88.

You will be missed, Batman.

I paid a small tribute in my daily post today also even though he has nothing to do with fantasy baseball.
