PVBL: Deadwood Outlaws
Eric Davis Update

October 1, 1999

Outlaw OF Eric Davis, who is recovering from a broken neck, has been transfered from the 15-Day disabled list to the 60-day emergency Disabled List. Davis is expected to officially announce his retirement immediatly following the World Series. Davis is expected to take a front office position with the Outlaws after he recovers enough to sit at a desk.

DH Cecil Fielder is recovering nicely from his back injury, and should be ready for Spring Training.

Both Davis and Fielder were injured during an attack by Canadain Nationals, which almost sparked a border war between the United States and Canada. The "hitmen" were arrested by Duluth, MN police, and are awaiting trial. Canadian officials are reportedly asking US Secretary of State Albright to free the prisioners in exchange for 25 kegs of beer.
