Steve Howe's Autopsy Released

[Flying Headbutt]

This ain't good.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) _ A coroners report on Steve Howe shows the former major league pitcher had methamphetamine in his system on April 28th, when he died after his pickup truck drifted off a desert highway in California.

The 48-year-old Howe was the 1980 National League Rookie of the Year with the Los Angeles Dodgers. But his career was beset by drug and alcohol abuse. He was suspended seven times and became a symbol of the rampant cocaine problem that tormented baseball in the 1980's.
