If I recall correctly, Duane Kuiper hit one home run in his career. I had an old "50 greatest home runs" video and Kuiper's homer was on it. The reaction of his teammates after he circled the bases was great to see.

Fosse was never quite the same after the collision with Rose as he suffered a bad shoulder injury. I forgot he was on a couple of those World Series winners with the A's.

I wish both of them all the best in their fight.
