Danny Clyburn succumbed to a gunshot wound:
Danny Clyburn Jr., a former baseball player for the Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Devil Rays, died in a Lancaster shooting early Tuesday morning, police say.
Clyburn, 37, was shot at about 2 a.m. at a home at 618 N. Market Street, Lancaster police said.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
Clyburn played a very short time in the majors, amassing just 118 plate appearances. He actually had a bit of pop, with eight of his 23 hits going for extra bases.
Hat tip, Hardball Talk.
Seems he could talk a walk too. His last year, the year he got his most PA’s, his OBP was a full 72 points higher than his BA. Too bad nobody took note of it yet & developed him.
Sad he’s gone. Sad when anyone’s gone, especially so needlessly.
