Very sad news. I remember watching his very first game as a Yankee, he was lights out.

That bowman card was so hot at one point. Him, Jose Cruz Jr., Kerry Wood were all the rage.

RIP

Very sad indeed.

Did the writer have to finish the story with
"He lasted two seasons with the Expos and one season with the Rangers before hanging it up after 2002." ::facepalm:: Poor choice of words.

 

[MacK]

Wow. That's sad.

Awesome Japanese auto. Didn't realize this, but I had two nice Irabu inserts in my trade box.

Total bummer! Part of my beloved 1998 Yankees. I don't think I'll ever get him for my 98 Yankees auto set now. I missed out on an IP opportunity a while back. Oh well... RIP Hideki!

Very sad, prayers to the family.

 

[Big Mac McGwire]

Il never forget the funny face he made against the blue jays in a game. I think he gave up a HR to deep center and made this face where he eyes got so big it looked like they were popping out of his face.

Sad to see anyone regardless if they were a player or not go out that way.

He did make a nice bit of coin though from the yanks right ?
