The only UC Riverside pitcher I know (the other is Eric Show, who killed himself in the 80's, I think). UCR is my Alma Mater, and Percival went there when I went there (although I never saw him play at UCR).
Another great free agent signing by the Tigers. Troy only cost them a little over a million dollars per save. At least they should be able to claim the insurance policy on him. I hope they have better luck this year with another elderly closer. Percival did have a great career and I am sad his health did not allow him to contribute to the Tigers. I also didn't realize Troy came from the same school that produced the great Baseball Geek. This is a sad day for the Reedster.
