Remember what's her face when the Umpire Sharie had a heart attack and died opening day say, "Why can't we continue the game"? I'm trying to remember her name.
But I've never heard of a player pull himself out of the second or even last game of any season and say, "I'm done, I retire" and take off...that's messed up, lol.
Davis tore his kidney diving for ball in the Series. But not before hitting a first inning HR and making the team believers against a powerhouse A's team.
Reds swept and won but Davis was still hospitalized. After he got out of hospital Marge wanted him to pay his own way home I believe. What an insult !
He was never the same player again and was probably the best baseball player I watched play before that. Was my favorite anyway.
Last time the Reds won Series too.

yet it's only the thirsty that hunger to roam.
