1. How horrible....

ST. LOUIS -- Sunday night's game between the Cubs and Cardinals has been postponed following the death of St. Louis pitcher Josh Hancock. The game was scheduled for 7:05 CT.
Hancock, who pitched three innings in Saturday's game, an 8-1 Cubs win, was killed in an auto accident on westbound Highway 64/40 within the St. Louis city limits.

According to a statement issued by the Cardinals, St. Louis manager Tony La Russa informed Hancock's father of the news. Major League Baseball announced that Sunday's game between the two teams has been postponed.

Hancock, who was single, has been a member of the Cardinals since February 2006 and helped the team to its 10th World Series title last fall.

The Cardinals ask that all fans join with the team in offering their prayers and condolences to Hancock's family. ........

4. Is that the one that heads out to St. Charles?

My brother and his family live out that way and there is a very scary road not too far from them. I tried not to think about it too much when my nieces were learning to drive. :scared:

6. He was a human first.

The ability to empathize is generally considered a desired trait.

8. Josh was not rich.

He was a middle reliever that survived year to year. For several years he worked in the minors making about 20K.
He did finally make a decent salary last year with the Cards - probably in the 300K range.
