Title: The Baseball Necrology
First published: April 11, 2003
Description: "... Unlike most other professions, the baseball player's career is over at an age when most other careers are just beginning. Sometime between age 25 and age 45, usually in the early 30's, the ballplayer is through as a performer, but he still has twenty to forty useful years ahead of him. What did the ballplayers of the past do with those twenty to forty years? The Baseball Necrology addresses this subject on more than 7600 now deceased baseball players, as well as other personalities in the game of baseball, giving their cause of death and the location of their final resting place." -- P. 1.
