Go Sinton Pirates and Lady Pirates! I also like old movies like "Dawn at Socorro." I also like the Tour de France. I like the Pelican West Band located at South Padre Island, Texas. Phil is PhiI is Bill is the compassion police. He is also the Sinton Matador. Some call him the Sinton Prophet. {Also Captain Obvious.
} BEWARE OF THE HOWLING BEAR! He's going for the Corner - he's got it! Roy Orbison rules.
Phil C Cares!

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