Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com.  I received the following entry earlier today.

I just read an article about former star pitcher Steve Howe of the Los Angeles Dodgers.  He dies today in a traffic accident.
I remember when he was a star pitcher in 1981 when his Dodgers put an end to the Expo's hopes of going to the World Series.  What a great Montreal team. Howe was certainly a talent however drugs was his downfall and his career derailed.
What a tragic end to a talented baseball player.  he was 48.

I hadn't heard this sad news.  I don't remember his glorious first couple of years, but I do remember his struggles with cocaine and alcohol abuse that continually disrupted his career.
