I'm sorry to hear he passed away today, just as I was sorry to hear Donnie Moore committed suicide a couple of years later.

Actually Lex, (And I had to go back and read and watch before I was certain), he entered the game as a replacement for CR Tony Armas who got hurt, and while tracking a long fly ball off Bobby Grich, the ball hit the palm of his glove as he hit the CF wall and it popped out of his glove and over the wall for a 2 run HR.
He was going to be scapegoated for the series.
