shawon Dunston and his jet arm

Shawon Dunston was the Chicago Cub shortstop of the eighties. just like fans will always associate Ivan Dejesus as the Cub shortstop of the seventies, I will always come to think of Shawon Dunston for that position. He was  the first pick out of high school in the baseball draft one year. Whiloe he is far short oif a hall of famer, Shawon had some productive years on the North side of Chicago. I remember him having good speed and has some pop for a shortstop at that time period.  The guy had a cannon for an arm and he nearly decapitateds several firstbasemen with his throws from grounders. This guy was a tremendous athlete and a great past cub. I came across this awsome picture on the web of a St louis cardianl trying to take him out.
