I recently purchased a used copy of John Kruk's autobiography "I Ain't an Athlete, Lady" My Well-Rounded Life and Times, as it had been at least 15 years since I last read it. Written in 1994 with (that generally means "by") Paul Hagen, it's a bit better than your run-of-the-mill book put out at the height of an athlete's a baseball player's popularity. As a fan of Kruk since kindergarten I enjoyed the whole thing, but my favorite parts were, of course, his tales about his time with the Padres.
One anecdote that stood out to me, which I thought the rest of you would enjoy as well, involved the greatest Padre of all time.
