Dravecky’s uniform from Montreal that had to be cut off of him in the hospital after breaking his arm on the mound

Although there wasn’t any practice coverage today, I did get to help out at the Spirit of the Game event out here in Surprise. The event was put on by Tim Salmon and Dave Dravecky shared his testimony. Jeremy Affeldt also came by and did a quick Q&A on what it’s like to be a MLB player and still hold fast to faith in Christ. Other past Giants greats included Russ Ortiz and Jason Schmidt making an appearance.

I don’t know about you but I was 8 years old when Dave Dravecky came back to pitch and I still remember that game and the game in Montreal pretty vividly. The scoreboard at the ‘Stick with a huge “Welcome Back Dave.” He was a great inspiration to me as a kid and it’s always a pleasure to hear him speak. Here are a couple pics from the event.

Then there was this kid who reminded me of a certain CY Young award winner
