I grew up next to San Fernando Valley State College and played pickup basketball with Lyman Bostock as a kid. He was so nice and protected me when we played on the same 3 on 3 Team because I was so small and young. I was heart broken when I heard he passed and still think about how great he was going to be.

As a podcaster who specializes in telling mini-biographies of people buried in two local historic cemeteries, I understand and appreciate the amount of time it took for you to put this beautiful program together. I was especially touched by the story of Ken Hubbs, who was one of my favorite Cubs as I was growing up. If you decide to do a follow-up, remember Harry "The Golden Greek" Agganis (1929-1955) and, of course, the great Ed Delahanty. Thanks for a terrific educational and entertaining program.

Another sad story which was very preventable was Cubs infielder Steve Macko who passed in 1981. He had a fear of doctors and had a growth on his private parts. Everyone thought it was strange as he would not shower with his teammates. It was only after he was unintentionally spiked by Bill Madlock on a play at second base and was injured that he had to see a doctor. While examining his thigh the doctors obviously noticed the mass on his testicles. Unfortunately it was too late RIP Steve.

Another forgotten player is Urban Shocker, a right-hander who had a career record of 187-117, with an ERA of 3.17. He won 20 or more games for the St. Louis Browns for four different seasons and won 18 games for the fabled 1927 Yankees. Sadly, he pitched for an unknown number of years while battling a heart condition, which took his life in September 1928, two weeks shy of age 38.

Another player who died during his MLB career was Charlie Ferguson. He was the first great player in the history of the Philadelphia Phillies. He was both a pitcher and an everyday player. He played from 1884-1887. As a pitcher his career record was 99-64 with an ERA of 2.67. He also had a lifetime BA of .288. When he was not pitching, he played the outfield and second base. In his last season of 1887 he hit .337 with 85 RBI in only 72 games and also had a record of 22-10 with an ERA of 3.00 as a pitcher. Before the 1888 season started he contracted typhoid fever and died in Philadelphia at the age of 25.

Going back to 1922, the St.Louis Cardinals had a budding superstar outfielder, Austin McHenry tragically pass away at age 27 of a brain tumor. In 1921, he had his best season, batting .350 with 201 hits and 102 rbi. Another player who is seldom remembered is Walt Bond, who bravely battled leukemia for a good part of his career and adult life. He had his best season in 1964 for the then Houston Colt .45s, hitting 20 homeruns and driving in 85 runs. Sadly, he passed away from leukemia during the 1967 season at age 29.

I remember several MLB players who died during their careers. Chico Ruiz was a Red from 1964-69 and played for a West Coast team until he died in a car wreck in early 1972. Thurman Munson was a great NY Yankees catcher in the 1970s; His Yankees were in the World Series from 1976 to 1978, winning the latter two. He was an amateur pilot who liked flying on off-days. He died as a result of a crash of his plane. Roberto Clemente notched his 3,000th hit at the end of the 1972 season. Clemente played the last time in the NL Championship against the Reds. He gave chase on Johnny Bench's game-tying home run. The game, and the series, ended with the Reds winning on a wild pitch by Bob Moose. Moose himself died about 4 years later in a car wreck.

Danny Frisella died in a dune buggy accident at age 30 on 1/1/1977 having pitched his last game on 9/23/1976 for the Milwaukee Brewers. On 1/6/1977 Angels' shortstop Mike Miley perished in a car crash at age 23. He played his last contest on 10/3/1976. Two months after his last game, Danny Thompson, Rangers' shortstop, succumbed to Leukemia at age 29 on 12/10/1976.

Glad you mentioned Danny Thompson. When the Rangers acquired him in the Bert Blyleven trade, he proceeded to get the walk off hit in the first game he played at Arlington Stadium. People said jokingly, “So who’s the other guy we got in the Thompson trade?” He was great to fans and would generously sign autographs for kids. I was one of them. His passing in December that year was very hard for his fans. I always hoped and prayed his family was ok. He was from Oklahoma, so he was close to home as a Ranger.

Adenhart’s death was so pitiful because he was killed by that idiotic drunken driver.

You acknowledged the two Dominican players killed in 2017 in separate auto accident s. You failed to acknowledge the passing of Andy Marte in the same year in another auto accident. Marte had some memorable moments when he played for the Cleveland Indians.

Lou Gehrig died from the illness which cut short his career. He was only 38 at the time of his death and would most likely have continue playing well after that, (Ruth played until he was 42).

Ruth was 40 his final year in 1935, played sparingly, and didn't finish the season.

10:10 Ventura died in a car crash so the music they play is Tracy Chapmans "fast car"? Very distasteful

Well actually that song's lyrics say "you live with the bottle that's the way it is" so digest that for a second it makes sense.

44:16....who were the 7.3% who didn't vote for him?

Probably the same writers who didn't vote for Mays , Aaron , and a multitude of other greats. Simply because they believe no one should get in on the first ballot . It took 80+ years for a 100% vote, and it shouldn't have gone to a closer who played under the relaxed save rule.

Hello, in this video, I was only counting down 25 different stories, not ranking them. While Roberto Clemente is the most well-known player to pass during his career, I only ended on his story because I thought it would be a profound one to finish with. If I were to remake this video, I would not have it outlined as if it were a ranking

This is horrible, but I think I might have done Oxy with Nick Adenhart back around 2009. I was about a year from sobering up. The Angels were playing a game in Arizona, and I was in Arizona on business. I was in a bad place buying something that was not allowed and this big dorky looking stork of a guy came in and just peeled a wad of cash that was at least $10k, and then tried to hide it. It was weird to see a guy buy 200 80 MG green monsters all at once, let's just put it at that. Then, he dapped everyone up and left. I liked baseball but I had no idea who he was. The dealer said, oh, yeah, I have a lot of celebs and athletes, he's a pitcher. I cant swear to it, but I think it was him. He seemed like a cool guy. I dont mean to say I thought he was stupid looking. He was just much bigger than a bunch of drug addicts like me. He reminded me of the Winkelvoss Twins in Social Network, now that I think of it. But he had a big smile and a down vest, which was odd in Arizona in March. Im not trying to dishonor his legacy or hurt his family. But he was nice to all of us. I do think it was him, even though I will be careful and say, maybe. He had a girl with him when he came back who was gorgeous and she wanted black tar H. He gave her money, she bought and the girl i was with wanted a hit. So they talked over their hit, "Nate" who I thought he was, and I talked politics, and solved the world's problems. When he left he smiled and his kite tail left. We are human too, us addicts. I think it shows he was a good person, and it doesnt destroy his legacy.
