29 year old St. Louis Cardinal reliever Josh Hancock was killed early this morning when his Ford Explorer rear-ended a tow truck on highway 40 in St. Louis. Josh pitched 3 pretty good innings against the Chicago Cubs yesterday. He had attended the annual Bob Costas Benefit fundraiser for SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital last night.
There was quite a bit of flack locally because St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke stepped down from his post on the Board of Cardinal Glennon because Sheryl Crow was one of the perfomers. Miss Crow supports abortion rights and stem cell research. Billy Crystal also performed at the event.
It was five years ago when another Cardinal pitcher, Daryl Kyle, died suddenly in his hotel room in Chicago during another series with the Cubs.
Tonights game, schedules for 7:05 (CST) was postponed. It was supposed to be on ESPN.

That picture is kindof funny if you look at where the guy's right hand is.
