Florida Marlins History: What Exactly Happened to Scott Pose?

I never got chills all over my body like I did today when they announced, “and now, the Florida Marlins.” It was one of the greatest moments I ever had. Call it a rush. It was spectacular. – Pose, quoted by Josh Grogan in the Sun-Sentinel (subscription required)

Scott Pose reached base in the Florida Marlins first-ever plate appearance, in the bottom of the first inning of a 6-3 victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 5, 1993. He grounded a 2-1 Orel Hershiser pitch to Dodgers second baseman Jody Reed, who made an error and was unable to make the relay to 1B Eric Karros for the out.
