Dave Dravecky played for nine years in the majors, including 6 for the Padres in which he got to the World Series. He was traded to the Giants in 1987 along with Kevin Mitchell and Craig Lefferts for Craig Comstock, Mark Davis, Mark Grant and Chris Brown. He pitched in '87, '88 and '89. I will never forget the sound and the agony of his arm breaking as he pitched against the Expos'. I remember Will Clark saying that he thought that Dravecky had been shot. We have corresponded a couple of times and I hope to invite him to Davids' 21st party.
PS. I dont know why the first part of this is underlined, no matter what I did I couldn't get the underlining to go away.
Good entry. Dave is a good role model.
