It's a sad day for Giants fans...fan favorite and long time shortstop Jose Uribe was killed in a car accident in the Dominican today.
He was part of the infield that had Will Clark at 1B, Robby Thompson at 2B, Matt Williams at 3B (Williams replaced the stiff Chris Brown), and Uribe at SS. He became a Giant when Jack Clark was traded to St. Louis in exchange for pitcher Dave LaPoint, 1B David Green, and a young kid named Jose Gonzales - who briefly changed his name to Uribe Gonzales, then Jose Uribe.
Thanks for the reminder earlier, Will...

He may not have been the best shortstop in the game even at that time, but I loved to watch the double plays - Uribe, to Thompson, to Clark. Just saying that makes me happy.
The Giants may have been to more playoff games since, but they've never been more my team than during that era.
That was a solid infield you guys had for a few glory years of the late 80's, early-mid 90's.
