RIP Dave Smith

Ex-Astros closer dead of a heart attack at 53.

:(

That's surprising. I don't consider 50 old at all.

I remember vividly reading a "Sport" magazine article about his splitfinger fastball, and how he threw it and set it up.

It's a shame.

RIP Smitty.

Played hard & lived hard. 53 is much too young. One of my childhood baseball heroes & he signed a ball for me at the Dome.

Good memories.

I was shocked at this news, and 53 is darn young... Prayers out to his family...

I watched him pitch many times in the dome. Much too young to be leaving us.

:(

Rest in Peace, Dave.


Thanks for all the good memories you gave Astros fans!:)

Prayers out to his family, 53 is just to young. :(

I feel really bad!!!

When I read the thread, I thought Jason's dog died!!:doh: :doh:
