He was always showing me different things and I'd ask him questions, and if he didn't know the answer we'd go work it out together, we'd go look it up. That meant a lot to me. So hopefully as my children grow up, I'll be able to help them learn things more than tell them what to do." - Darryl Kile (June 11, 2002)</div> <bR> <div> “Honestly, the last few days have been tough. First Jack Buck, who I knew, he dies and we were out there playing and there are ashes falling from the sky, and now you lose a friend. It will be really tough to play.” — Colorado's Larry Walker, choking back tears while talking about his former teammate.</div> <bR> <div> “He was a warrior when he was here. It's sad. A lot of people gave him a hard time here. A lot of people were very, very opinionated about his talents in the press. And the one thing the man never did was never back down from an opportunity to pitch. He took the ball every time he was asked to take the ball. That's the thing I remember about him the most.” — Colorado manager Clint Hurdle.</div> <bR> <div> “In my mind, I can see Darryl Kile right next to me. We always joked together. I can't believe he's dead. I have to see it to believe it. We have to realize that he's dead, but in my mind, he's alive because he was one of the greatest.” — Montreal third baseman Fernando Tatis, who played with Kile in St. Louis. </div> <bR> <div> “It's just a shock. He's 33 with three kids. I'm 31 with two kids ... I can't imagine what she (his wife) is going through. I can't imagine what that phone call to his wife was like. Just devastating.” — Cubs pitcher Jason Bere.</div> <bR> <div> - Author's Note: Darryl, We'll Always Miss Your Professional Attitude And Your Devotion To The Game And Your Family.</div> <div>  </div> <bR> </td> <td valign="top" height=458 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#080000"> <div> <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#336600" FACE="Times New Roman" ><I>Little Mac's Baseball Website</I></FONT><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#663399" FACE="Times New Roman" >    </FONT> |    <B> </b><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000BF" FACE="Times New Roman" ><A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Little Macs Baseball Website"><U><B>home</b></U></A></FONT></div> <div> <A HREF="id18.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Photos 1"><U>Photos 1</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id20.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Photos 2"><U>Photo's 2</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id21.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Photos Page 3"><U>Photos Page 3</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id22.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Photos Page 4"><U>Photos Page 4</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id23.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Photos Page 5"><U>Photos Page 5</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id27.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Photos Page 6"><U>Photos Page 6</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id29.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Page 7 of Pictures"><U>Page 7 of Pictures</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id28.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Page 8 Of Pictures"><U>Page 8 Of Pictures</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id30.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Photos Page 9"><U>Photos Page 9</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id31.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Page 10 Of Pictures"><U>Page 10 Of Pictures</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id37.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Page 11 Cardinals Pictures"><U>Page 11 Cardinals Pictures</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id38.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Page 12 Of Pictures"><U>Page 12 Of Pictures</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id33.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Jack Buck Tribute"><U>Jack Buck Tribute</U></A>   |   <B>Darryl Kile Tribute</b>   |   <A HREF="id35.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Ted Williams Tribute"><U>Ted Williams Tribute</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id36.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Enos Slaughter Tribute"><U>Enos Slaughter Tribute</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id24.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Jokes Page"><U>Jokes Page</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id17.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="My Hobbies"><U>My Hobbies</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id19.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Favorite Links"><U>Favorite Links</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id26.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Favorite Quotes!"><U>Favorite Quotes!</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id32.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Some Pretty Cool Stuff"><U>Some Pretty Cool Stuff</U></A></div> <div> <IMG SRC="16407040.gif" border=0 width="263" height="4" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <B>Darryl Kile Tribute</b></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="22bcd3f0.jpg" border=0 width="205" height="63" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Darryl Kile, DK, was the Cardinals ace, along with Matt Morris, and a team leader. Darryl came up with the Houston Astros, as one of their top pitching prospects. He came to the majors in 1991. With the Houston Astros he had his no-hitter, and became fond friends with several players including Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio. Both of these players came to Darryl's memorial service at Busch Stadium. Darryl was known for his 10-4 o'clock sidearm curveball, but more importantly, him, as a person, and a mentor. Darryl never was down, and when he was booed, in early days at Houston, he kept his composer very well. </div> <bR> <div> Darryl was a workhorse, and never missed a start in any of his 10 plus year career. Darryl had 20 wins in 2000, the first time in his career he had reached that mark. Darryl was the man, in the last 3 years, he had the 3rd most starts in the majors, only Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine beating him. </div> <bR> <div> Darryl started Kile's Kids in St. Louis which helps kids in the St. Louis area. Thanks to the Cardinals players, for they are going to keep this program going, in memory of Darryl. Darryl died at the young age of 33 of a heart attack. His dad died in his mid-40's, of the same reason. Darryl has three children, two twins, and a baby they had in October of 2001. Darryl and his wife, Flin, were ready to move into their new home in Colorado, before his passing.</div> <bR> <div> Darryl will never be forgotten, and to remember him, here are pictures of Darryl and of the his fellow players at his memorial service. </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="22dbd340.jpg" border=0 width="445" height="308" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="22f35d60.jpg" border=0 width="309" height="214" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">              <IMG SRC="2322ace0.jpg" border=0 width="298" height="206" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="233d6450.jpg" border=0 width="470" height="325" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="2356bfb0.jpg" border=0 width="363" height="251" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">        <IMG SRC="23a5e710.jpg" border=0 width="94" height="113" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Darryl's close friend, Dave Veres, read parts from the Bible that</div> <div> reminded him of Darryl.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="236d6450.jpg" border=0 width="470" height="325" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Darryl's wife, Flin and her twin children mourn while watching the memorial service </div> <div> for their dad, and her husband.</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
