43 is way too damn young.

RIP and thoughts to the family - especially children. Especially hard to not only lose your father - but at one of your games he was coaching.

Back to back Little League World Series victories in the 90’s for Long Beach California.

RIP

Wonder what his lifestyle was like... Type A personality? Drinking? No excercise? Poor eating habits?
I would love to understand how someone that young has a heart attack. Its crazy.

RIP

Cool fact …

He pitched consecutive no-hitters during the 1993 Little League World Series, which his team won.

So now confirmed as drug related (fetanyl).

This stuff is simply bad news - of course it’s both cheap, addictive and being mixed with any and everything these days by people and used without the victim knowing in many cases.

Worse - you announce the stuff is making the rounds - you draw a whole new level of interest from junkies looking for a cheap fix and a better high.

So very sad his kid will now have to talk about the day his dad dropped dead from his addiction after dropping him off at little league. Losing a father at that age is rough enough - but losing one to a treatable disease is beyond words.

sad anyway
