Heart attack at 41.

Yeesh.

I remember watching him when I was going to weekly baseball games at the Astrodome. I remember his rookie season and remember him being a great asset to the Astros.

I continued to watch his career, seeing him play with a torn rotator cuff in his shoulder and still winning the NL MVP trophy by unanimous vote!

I'd hoped he would have overcome his addictions and such, but I guess in the end it got the better of him.

Nonetheless, he was a great player. He'll be missed.

Aww c'mon guys ... I know he's no Chris Reeve, but he was practically a baseball legend.

Feh.
