Rams' Jack Snow loses battle with staph infection (http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/stories.nsf/rams/story/398F68BAC1A90956862570F200134BBC?OpenDocument)

I had the pleasure of sitting next to him at a Cardinals - Giants baseball game a few years ago. A consumate professional. Posed for pictures, took his Super Bowl ring off to let my son see it and try it on. We were sitting in the front row between the Giants dugout and home plate. Before one of the innings started, JT was in the ondeck circle. Jack tells him "See this young guy" (pointing at my son) "Even though he's a Cubs fan, make sure he gets a ball!" As the next inning starts, JT flips an autographed ball to Jack to give to my son.

Godspeed Snowman!

He was a great reciever, not fast, but always got open. Roman Gabriel to Jack Snow was one of those classic combinations.

Sad. Great guy. Those staph infections are scary.
