Equally proficient as a starter or coming out of the bullpen, Dravecky helped the Padres to their first pennant the following year.<BR/><BR/>In 1987, the Giants acquired Dravecky for their pennant drive. He went 7-5 during the stretch, and in the playoffs pitched a shutout in Game 2 against the St. Louis Cardinals and lost Game 6 by a score of 1-0. The Cards won in seven games.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The following season, a cancerous desmoid tumor was found in Dravecky's pitching arm. He underwent surgery on October 7, 1988, removing half of the deltoid muscle in his pitching arm and freezing the humerus bone in an effort to eliminate all of the cancerous cells. By July 1989, he was pitching in the minors, and on August 10, he made a highly publicized return to the major leagues, pitching 8 innings and defeating Cincinnati 4-3. In his following start five days later against the Expos, Dravecky pitched three no-hit innings, but in the fifth inning, he felt a tingling sensation in his arm. In the sixth inning he started off shaky, allowing a home run to the lead off batter and then hitting the second batter, Andres Galarraga. Then, on his first pitch to Tim Raines, his humerus bone snapped, ending his career.<BR/>To see a pitcher break his arm with a loud cracking sound while doing something as ordinary as throwing a pitch, then fall to the ground rolling in agonizing pain, was shocking, unusual, and upsetting, especially for those who had followed his touching story. The pitch was replayed on television repeatedly over the following days.<BR/><BR/>The Giants won the National League pennant in 1989 (defeating the Chicago Cubs in the NLCS in five games), and in the post-game celebration, Dravecky's arm was broken a second time by Kevin Mitchell and Kelly Downs. A doctor examining Dravecky's x-rays noticed a mass in his arm. Cancer had returned. Eighteen days later, Dravecky retired from baseball, leaving a 64-57 record with 558 strikeouts and a 3.13 ERA in 1,062.2 innings. He won the 1989 Willie Mac Award honoring his spirit and leadership.<BR/><BR/><BR/>After two more surgeries, his left arm continued to deteriorate, and on July 18, 1991, less than two years after his comeback with the Giants, Dravecky's left arm and shoulder were amputated. Then he went on as a motivational speaker.<BR/><BR/>"When God wants to do an impossible thing He takes an impossible man and crushes him." - Alan Redpath <BR/><BR/>St Baldrick's <BR/>Donate to the cause !!!<BR/><BR/>51 Days to Opening Day !!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637815564696693043.post-12232698163519990162009-02-14T09:54:00.000-06:002009-02-14T09:54:00.000-06:00I think everybody in the neighborhood should call ...I think everybody in the neighborhood should call or write to corporate Burger King ...

They have multiple signs with 1.25 posted but as of today they have a single piece of paper on the side of the payment box enclosure stating the increase. I am fine with the increase but inconsistently posting the price of parking is bullshit. <BR/> <BR/>When the parking lot was repaved, they also move the dam pay box to about 150 yards past the parking lot. While i now know where it is, i didn't in the past and was ticketed for it. This is very deceiving for people parking. It seems like they are doing everything possible to make it difficult to pay. <BR/> <BR/>Impark has no problem ticketing people but rarely takes care of the parking lot. Their lots were ice skating rinks most of the winter. <BR/><BR/>Maybe this is a conspiracy to get more revenue through tickets or not. I don't care. Someone needs to put and end to it.<BR/> <BR/>One last city problem. Put a visible cross walk and a sign on 103rd street. Many people need to cross the street and basically stop traffic to get across. During the morning and evening compute, traffic almost never stops long enough for people the cross the street. Drivers get very irritated that people are stopping traffic to get across.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637815564696693043.post-70076046586547087422009-02-11T20:14:00.000-06:002009-02-11T20:14:00.000-06:00Don't express your opinion when it comes to St. Ch...Don't express your opinion when it comes to St. Christina.
