Re: Dave Smith RIP
I'm sorry to hear about this. He was a good reliever during much of the 80's and seems to have been a very good person.

Re: Dave Smith RIP
Sad to hear about this. I thought he was way overrated as a closer but you hate hearing about someone dying so young.

Re: Dave Smith RIP
Also a former Charleston Charlies starter. I remember seeing him pitch a gem a Watt Powell back in the day.

He must have been doing something right, as he was the Astros career leader in relief appearances.

Re: Dave Smith RIP
“He’s gone. My tears are the rain,” (Tim) Flannery, the San Francisco Giants third base coach, told The Associated Press.
I think they mixed up a quote from Yoko Ono.
