    If I'm Walt Weiss, Stan Javier or Carney Lansford, I'm taking it easy for a while.

    Managing the Rockies could certainly drive him to an early grave.

    First MLB game I went to was Tigers at Brewers in Aug. 1993. Phillips was walking by me before the game and I asked for an autograph. He spit on the ground, laughed and mumbled something like "Fuck that...".
    I was 16.
    RIP, but damn that stung.

    Whoa. I may have been at that game as an 18 year old kid. Left center $4 bleachers and jammin with Freeway thanks to my two free sodas for being a designated driver.

    I think it was an afternoon game. Then we went and watched "A League of Their Own" at cheap theater that played second-run movies later that night.
