... that's too bad. I couldn't tell from any of the early articles if he was married, or had any kids, but I hope not - that would just add another layer of sadness to the story.

First Daryl Kile, now Josh Hancock. And, both happened during series with the Cubs. Strange.

Very sad. No kids and he wasn't married.

It is very strange. I was reading a story on another board where this guy rented buses to go watch the game 5 years ago (church group, I believe). They again had buses rented to go watch the game last night...very strange.

Wow.

I'd be willing to bet they guy's first name has four letters, like "Kyle", and the guy's last name has 7 leters, like "Hancock".

(Cue "Twilight Zone" music.)

I guess Jeff Weaver isn't the Mariners' only pitcher.
