re: Remembering tiger greats who's life was cut short

My one encounter with Miley came during summer intramural softball, when somehow my team of LSU English Department graduate students got matched against a team of LSU athletes that had Miley pitching and also had Doug Moreau.

Miley almost got undressed on the mound during that game, a la Charlie Brown. He was pitching with sunglasses on when one of our mute inglorious Miltons hit a scorcher right at his face. Miley, probably astounded that such a thing could happen at all, was a bit slow to react but did manage to throw his glove in front of his face while at the same time jerking his head back, thereby throwing the sunglasses into the air.

Miley snagged the liner with his glove and caught the shades in his TEETH as they came down.
Most impressive play I ever saw him make.
