By the way, if anyone here hasn't seen the ESPN special "The Tortured Life of Eric Show" you are missing out! Below is a link to the commentary of the ESPN special, Show's life was certainly a very interesting one and you can't help but feel sorry for him.

Thanks Joe,

This jersey is one of my favorites.

I remember Dawson getting up after the beaning trying to chase Show down. That was a scary sight. Recalled Dawson saying Show was a Headhunter. Saw Eric most of his career. Thought he was the complete opposite of that claim.

Show was a very complex person. Probably too smart for his own good. Tragic end. Was able to briefly speak to him early in his carrier during spring training. Seemed to be a nice guy. . . .
