Did You Know That Eric Show Had Passed?

Okay, so I'm only 14 years too late, but last night I was flipping through the baseball encyclopedia and saw that Eric Show had passed on March 16, 1994. Even worse, Show died of a heart attack after taking a speedball. Wow, he was only 37.

    Well, drug abuse would explain his 1991 Stadium Club pic in a hammock with a guitar.

    As a side note, I think you all would be shocked at how many athletes are abusing narcotics on a regular basis or had at one time. That's why I never got the whole Len Bias sermon. I tried coke in college and so did millions of other kids. Sure he had a great career ahead of him, but when it comes down to it he was just a kid going to parties and having substances thrown in his face and being pressured into trying them . He was not an adult but was expected to act like one. Have any of you ever been to a college party on a big campus?

    coincidentally, both Eric Plunk and Eric Show had the middle name "Vaughn".

    weird.

    CDsNuts,

    I attended UC Santa Barbara. I can't count the number of weekends and parties I attended at Isla Vista And you're right. There was (and probably still is) no shortage of women, sex, drugs, alcohol, etc. I don't know what's more amazing. Me then or me now. But I know one thing, me now cannot relate to me then.
