Archdeacon: John Condit directs film of love and understanding for tortured pitcher of...

In this photo that appeared in the Sept. 12, 1985 edition of the Dayton Daily News, Eric Show sits alone on the mound just after he gave up the record hit 4,192 to Pete Rose at Riverfront Stadium on September 11, 1985. This was taken by the San Diego Times Union. It shows the talented, but oft-troubled San Diego pitcher sitting alone on the mound as the joyous nine-minute celebration for Rose swirled all around him. He was roundly criticized for his action, but his critics misinterpreted what was going on in his mind. The photo prompted the name of the documentary on Eric Show – Alone on the Mound – that is being completed by John Condit, the University of Dayton grad and former local sportscaster who is now the Director of Sales for the Cox Media Group.
