what a nice photo of smith pitching in beautiful dodger stadium! if i am laying it on a bit thick, it's only because this is the last 1990 o-pee-chee variation to be featured on this site. we've seen 'em all now. anyway, smith went 9-8 for the redbirds in 1990 in 26 games (25 starts) and also hit the third and final home run of his career. it was a two-run job against the expos in montreal of all places. smith did better on the bump in 1991, winning 12 games while lowering his era from 4.27 to 3.85. after one more season in saint louis, smith joined the rockies for their inagural season of 1993 and ended his career by going 2-4 in 11 games for colorado.
