MLB Players who died in 2009
I like to read the obituaries in the paper. That is how I read about some of the baseball players that have passed away to the Big Ballpark in the sky.
I ran across a list of MLB players that passed away in 2009. I added two columns: Born in and the list of teams they played for. Could not get it all into one line so I created two lists.
The youngest player was Nick Adenhart at the tender age of 22 and the oldest Bill Werber at the golden age of 100.
Isn’t this a cool baseball card of Bill Werber?

Four of these players played for the Brooklyn Dodgers: John Tepsic, Loney Frey, Don Thompson and Howie Shultz. Preston Gomez played for the Senators but he was the third-base coach for the Dodgers in 1965 when the Dodgers won the World Series. He passed away last year January 13th due to a car accident.
77 MLB players passed away in 2009. Rest in peace gentlemen.
