He was one of my favorites. I didn't go to that many Cubs games as an undergrad, but one of them was Dawson's very last game as a Cub. If I remember right, the Cubs closed out the season with a win, courtesy of a home run by Dawson. Great day -- super warm for October -- and I also think that was the same game that got followed up with filming for Rookie of the Year. Remember that one? After the game, they asked the crowd to stick around to act as the crowd in the movie -- some woman with a bullhorn was actually directing the crowd (particularly the bleachers; we were by third base) to do various things. It was pretty cool to hear the stadium cheer on cue and suddenly fall silent on another signal.

Omar, no amount of Dawson Beefcake is going to get this site to make money.
