Brush with fame: Talked to Eric Davis and got his autograph after his
first game in St. Louis. He had two or three hits -- a triple -- and threw out a
runner at third. Caught Johnny Bench's last foul ball ever hit
in St. Louis. The next pitch was a three-run homer to left.
Quote: "Meditation on inevitable death should be
performed daily. Every day when one's body and mind are at
peace, one should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows,
rifles, spears and swords, being carried away by surging waves,
being thrown into the midst of a great fire, being struck by
lightning, being shaken to death by a giant earthquake, falling from
thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease or committing seppuku at the
death of one's master. And every day without fail one should
consider himself as dead." -- Hagakure: From the 11th Chapter
