ReplyDeleteNice tribute post. Is there a website you used to come up with a list of names? I know A's fans lost Vida Blue and Sal Bando... but I'm sure there were more than those two guys.
ReplyDeleteGoogle "baseball deaths 2023" a couple sites come up. I use Baseball Almanac.
DeleteThanks! I just tried it out. Found a blog called RIP Baseball that has an obituary section... and they have teams tagged to make searching easier. The only problem is I don't know if they cover every single player who has passed away.
DeleteI checked through Baseball Almanac just now... The only Jay connection is Bullpen Coach John Sullivan. I did see a few former Expos, one even being covered here.
