RIP Tommy Hanson

My night took a turn for the worst when I heard that Tommy Hanson had passed at just 29 years old. We are the same age so that makes it scary. I always liked watching him pitch. Prayers go out to his family.

Wow. That's crazy. As a Braves fan, I remember him well. I thought he was gonna turn into a top line starter for Atlanta but injuries kind of derailed that.

Could not believe this. So young and complete organ failure? Wow.

Thoughts go out to his family.

Sadly, I think there must be more to the story
