You don't remember Thurman Munson, who I believe died in August of 1979?
Off the top of my head and not quoted from any news source, here are a couple others that I remember; former All-Star infielder Mike Sharperson was killed in a car accident on May 26, 1996, while playing for Triple-A Las Vegas.
California Angels star Lyman Bostock was killed in a drive-by shooting in Gary, Ind., on Sept. 23, 1978.
That doesn't also include Mike Darr, Tim Crews, and Steve Olin who were killed during Spring training, or Mike Hampton whose career died a few years ago
