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?

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.

if you die and nobody cares about it until 14 years later? is that sad, pathetic, or both?
way to go I guess.
