Ugh. What a sad weekend for baseball. First we suffered the loss of Mike Coolbaugh, killed by a line drive as he was coaching first base during a game of the Colorado Rockies minor league's team, the Tulsa Drillers. Mike was only 35 years old. He had a wife, two young sons, and a baby due in October. Ugh.
From young to old, the oldest former major leaguer, Rollie Stiles, died at the ripe old age of 100. He pitched to Babe Ruth over three seasons, and Rollie said that the Babe only ever had three hits off of him. Cool.
Yeah, people die every day. I know that. But why so many people lately -- people close to me and people for which I feel such a connection?
