The Life and Times of Rod "Shooter" Beck

Whether it be Tom Cochran or Rascal Flatts,

Shooter's song

Life is a highway
Shooter's wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
Shooter's wanna drive it all night long

I applaud his wife, Stacey, for leaving him.

Feel sorry for his daughters who lost a father.

So much for MLBaseball's drug and alcohol intervention program.

Thank you for posting this very sad story.

My heart breaks for every family which suffers with addictions of any kind, but particularly drug and alcohol abuse. They are truly demons.

Whatever perceptions one has of drugs, addicts, and addiction, the Becks want people to know it's a disease. They hope that its victims can be viewed with respect, not scorn. They want people to know that there's help; there are children's programs, counselors, research and education available to help people overcome it

Rod Beck may you rest in peace...we all enjoyed watching you pitch. What a great competitor...love from all SF Giants fans.

You live in memory and will play eternally closing out those games...wild hair, fumanchu, and that fierce penetrating look of total concentration.

One of a kind...you are missed.
