RIP Dwight Smith, 49....professional hitter, Chicago Cubs and Atlanta Braves


Recommended Posts

Spent some time on my team in the shortened 94 season.  I used to watch Cubs games at my grandpa's on WGN in his rookie season since he grew up in Chicago and that was his team.  Same year I started going to Angels games and when they hosted the all star game where Bo Jackson dominated.  First ball game I went to in June 89 was against the Royals and he hit a home run, truth be told.

 

RIP

The team that beat them in the playoffs. Between him and Jerome Walton, the NL Rookie of The Year could have gone to either of them. In fact, Smith had more RBIs, home runs, and higher batting average than Walton with 132 fewer at bats.
