Rod Beck, RIP -- June 25, 2007

I was sad to learn that former Giants reliever Rod Beck had died at the age of 38. He was an inspiring guy and the Giants would never have won the division in 1997 without his monumental efforts. We'll never have the pleasure of seeing Rod at an Old Timers' game or a tribute like the Giants had yesterday for the members of the 1962 Giants and Yankees. He would have had a great time.

Rest ye well, Shooter.

The photo has nothing to do with Rod Beck. It shows the new scoreboard at Pac Bell Park, during a game against the Oakland Athletics on 09-June-2007. The Giants lost.

I find it hard to locate information like balls and strikes on the new scoreboard.
