He was our number 6 hitter that year, too...7 the previous year.

I was wrong. Dye did it 99-01.

Loving this thread. Lots of names I have thought about in a while.

Tartabull last started in RF on opening day in 1991. How many RF can you name who have started there opening day since him? There have been 14.

Heart failure while pushing a stalled vehicle, correct?

I also recall that there were some rumors that perhaps his drug demons had caught up to him again and that it may have played a role in his death.

EDIT:

Guess they confirmed it was the coke that did him in, eh?

Wait until you see this list...

He was out snorting coke in his car. He went to a county park underneath the Missouri River bridge on MO Hwy 291 -which runs from Sugar Creek on the south bank towards Liberty on the north. He got coked up, his car got stuck in the sand on a tree stump, and it was a 100 degree day. He died trying to push his car out of the sand by himself. And this was after he had been thru rehab, and was giving kids "just say no" speeches. Sad example of a drug backslide.

Just off the top of my head, I can only think of three -

Frenchy
Dye
Guile

I guess that just shows what a mishmosh cluster right field has been for this team over the years.

I think Gordon might have actually had a few starts in right, as well.

And you were arguing with me about importance of trading Soria when the team was complete ass. Can't win without a closer in the playoffs, etc.

Now, the playoffs are a "real" possibility, and you're advocating the team trade two of its key pieces in the pen, including the likely closer?

OK. DM might be dumb enough to fall for this shit, but a decent number of posters in this thread won't. We're not STL fans; you're not getting ****ing ovation when you exit.

Costa?

Jose Guillen
Mark Teahen
David DeJesus
Jeff Francouer
Jermaine Dye
Aaron Guiel
Reggie Sanders
Michael Tucker
Emil Brown
Matt Stairs
Jon Nunnally
Felix Jose
Jim Eisenreich
Danny Tartabull

Good god..

guy just googled that and ruined trivia time

thanks a lot

Wow. Now there is a list. Felix Jose, lol.

And I got Gordon confused with Teahan. It's like they had no conceivable idea on where to play him.

baseball-reference is the best. I could have sworn Damon started in right, but I guess not.
