All come from single-parent households?
All their dads were abusive alcoholics?
They all once had curly hair, but lost it all (burning, illness, razors)?
They all love Maxwell House coffee? Dark Roast?

Dead is part of it........and the rest is related to their death.

Fidrych got squished/eaten by his 10-wheel dump truck, in 2010.

Mantle died from liver problems from drinking in 94?

Rizzuto died from old age, muscle wasting and a stomach removal. He was being treated with steroids towards the end. 2010?

Garcia was kidney failure I think. Back in the 80's.

I'm not seeing the link.

The Triskaidekaphobia13.

I had been thinking about this since ATG I. Would have worked better at a bigger cap but since the was the 13th season in the "House of Glanny" I figured I would use it there. Sorta last second (after waivers) so did not do thorough research and probably missed one or two that would have been better options. Sam Rice, George Kelly and one or two others were on other teams. If I could have found the info I would have also had guys who got married on the 13th.....haha.
