Damn he was an absolute menace in MLB the Show circa 2007 with Vlad and Eric Chavez on the cover

He passed on the way to the hospital, i read. Really sad situation there.

ETA: also just read that Nelson Cruz's sister died in the collapse as well.

One of Chris Bergman’s best nicknames- and one reliever with nasty stuff who had a long career

Best part of the Mike Hampton trade and the best player sent away in the Beltran trade.

Was a nasty setup man for Wagner.

Tough news. He was a dependable reliever on the 2011 championship team.

Not for nothing, but no one makes mention of a 48 year old out in a nightclub, on a week night?

Retired guy who made tens of millions of dollars enjoying life. Believe there was a concert going on that night by 69 year old merengue singer Rubby Pérez. A local governor died there too. Early reports say between 500-1000 people were there
