November 9, 2015 – Tommy Hanson
Hanson passed away Monday after suffering "catastrophic organ failure," a source told WSB-TV Channel 2 Atlanta.
Hanson last pitched in the majors in 2013 and spent the last two seasons in the minors, including 2015 in the Giants organization. He was 49-35 with a 3.80 ERA in 123 games in the majors. His death at just 29 years old is a tragic loss for baseball.
Sad, I still remember drafting him in the NFBC as a high pick as an up and coming phenom for the Braves several years ago.
