another death in the family

Hey, San Diegans- remember when the Padres had that season that blew us all away? And we were fans again, we went to games and cheered and Q106 handed out cardboard goatees on sticks in honor of one man who was helping to make it happen in a major way?

I'm sorry to say that that man died today, at the tender age of 41, of a heart attack.

And despite the disapointment we all had to learn of his steriod use, and his troubles with cocaine, can we deny that for one season he was our Superman, and we loved it?

Thanks, Ken.
