It's rare, but it happens. It even happens to really good players, like Lou Gehrig, Ross Youngs, Addie Joss, Ed Delahanty, Roberto Clemente - all Hall-of-Famers whose careers were cut short by death - not to mention high-caliber players who died mid-season, like Ray Chapman, Lyman Bostock, Thurman Munson, and Darryl Kile. It's simply unrealistic to ignore death as one among many ways that ball players leave the game.
