2008 Baseball Player Passings

I know this is a morbid topic, but I'm trying to send to many players from the '50's now, and I hate getting a letter back from the family saying the player has passed. I'll try to stay as current as possible and share what I find.

Gerald Staley

Don Cardwell

Johnny Podres

Chuck Daniel

Steve Ridzik

Al Montreuil

Lance Clemons

John McHale

Bill Ramsey

Ken Hunt

Dario Lodigiani

Bob Purkey

Niles Jordan

Roy Foster

Billy Consolo

Deacon Donahue

Tommy Holmes

Jerry Crider

Walt Masterson

John Marzano

Hersh Lyons

Harvey's list is only updated quarterly

This will be a good thread to include deaths as they occur, so we can be aware of people who die between Harvey updates.

AstroFan, you should make a master list in Post #1 of this thread, and include names as they are posted. That way it will be easy to see all of the passings in one post.

I'll keep posting them in the first post, that's a good suggestion.

I got my Harvey list yesterday, and there is at least 1 player who died last year that's still listed with an address (Jim Beauchamp). I'm sure with printing deadlines, etc., he couldn't get them all.

When? He died on the 22nd. You might very well be the last person to have ever received a success from him...
