Another Cardinals pitcher is dead

Josh Hancock, a relief pitcher who helped the St. Louis Cardinals win the World Series last season, died early Sunday when his sport utility vehicle slammed into the back of a tow truck. This is the second time in 5 years that the Cardinals have lost a pitcher. Darryl Kile died in June 2002 after his heart exploded.

With this death rate the Cardinals are going to have to start offering their hurlers some danger pay. The only job in baseball more hazardous is being Darryl Strawberry’s colon.
