It is indeed sad that Hendu’s obituary (Covers version) has
to be written by his bartender, but such is the state of things around here.
Nothing personal JEG, but it is sad
no one around here knew him better or laid waste to the legend that his
accidental home run was a major factor in the suicide of Donnie Moore.
Donnie Moore was a deeply troubled man; personally, financially, in his relationships with his wife and children and many others. His baseball career was already in trouble from too many fork balls thrown over too many years and his career was declining before the infamous home run. The fact that it went downhill after that was already programmed in. His arm, shoulder, and back would not rejuvenate and continued to deteriorate. As far as that home run was concerned it was just one of hundreds of thousands of pitches he had thrown since he was a kid. The legend probably only survives because his suicide was just three years after his last professional pitch, but that is all it is, legend. There was never any reason for Hendu or anyone else to consider that pitch as a suicide factor, but sometimes legend is more fun than fact and the legend outlives the fact.
