The Phillies pitcher. I saw it on Baseball-Reference. He was diagnosed w/ leukemia on 8/13 and died on 8/15. He was 42 years old.

Damn, that's a shame. I saw him when he was in AA with Jacksonville. He was pitching, and his teammate had been plunked the inning prior. So first batter, Winston plunks him and a bench-clearer breaks out. After the game, Winston was telling me that the guy he hit (can't remember who that was) was a good friend of his, but you gotta do what you gotta do. It was pretty funny...RIP Darrin.
