Another one who bites, bites the dust

Former Astro Smith dies of heart attack

That said, the average life expectancy for an RBI'er is still pretty toward the top end.

Congrats to Bigapplechamp!

Dave Smith.  He was 55 years old in '86 so he's already 75 now.

2.5% of that population is dead, and the average age of those alive is probably about 50, I'd say that's not so good

He is always Darren Smith to me.

When I first got RBI baseball (7 years old maybe?), we would just make up first names for the players we didn't know, and we always just called him Darren Smith... not sure why.
Anyway, it stuck.

Tough loss, I think it may be time for one of those front page updates I've been hearing so much about...

RIP  Dave Smith.   This guy absolutely sucks in RBI though.

Saw a name in that article I haven't thought of in a long time:  Joe Sambito.  He was good for a couple of years.

I just hope Charlie Kerfeld didn't take the news too hard.

I'm sure he's crying in his orange Jell-O.
