Eric Show was born on Saturday, May 19, 1956, in Riverside, California. Show was 25 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 2, 1981, with the San Diego Padres. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Eric Show baseball stats page.
"Show (the name rhymes with cow) was known as a highly intelligent, articulate man with broad interests that ranged from physics -- his major in college -- to politics to economics to music. 'Eric didn't fit the mold of the typical ballplayer,' said Tim Flannery, a former Padre teammate of Show's. 'Most ballplayers were like me then; we had tunnel vision. We weren't interested in those other things.'" - Sportswriter Ira Berkow in The New York Times (03/27/1994, 'Eric Show's Solitary Life, and Death', Source)
