Former Red Sox pitching prodigy Josh Hancock and current St. Louis Cardinals' relief pitcher Josh Hancock passed away in a car crash today April 29, 2007. My thoughts and prayers to the Hancock family and to the St. Louis Cardinals during this tough time. No evidence of drugs or alcohol was found in the car.
Hancock was supposed to be next ace in the Sox pitching staff and they had high hopes for him. I remember him on the Sox a while back and he was traded for one of our "first base hero" Jeremy Giambi of the Philadelphia Phillies. He somehow ended up with the Cardinals and went on to win the World Series last year. He will be dearly missed by the MLB. Hancock had career statistics of 9-7, 4.20 ERA and 110 Strikeouts. Also, I respect the Chicago Cubs for postponing the Sunday Night Baseball game against the Cardinals tonight on ESPN.
