He probably suffocated on his own whiskers while sleeping.

I can't believe he was only 38. He looked 45 when he pitched.

In all seriousness, I thought he was a lot older too. It's unfortunate and it seemed like he was a great guy from all the reports about him. His life was cut short way too early.

It was a mullet related accident.

While working his way back to the majors in 2003, Beck pitched for the Triple-A Iowa Cubs and lived in his Winnebago parked just beyond the outfield fence. Fans would drop by for autographs and stay for a beer, and Beck became a folk hero. Then the Padres called.

Oh man!

That's too bad.

I am sorry that he died.

He was a great guy and a darn good closer back in the day. At one time, he was one of the best.

He was a winner and there was a reason why he was a fan favorite in the Bay Area. He was a character.

The thing I got out of watching Rod was that he love the game of baseball and he easily showed that.

He died too young. It seems most baseball players that I grew up watching are dying so quickly.

I am stunned.

In honor of Rod Beck, a bunch of us should grow out biker handlebar mustaches.

Me and Zoso will just... uh... watch. :shrug:

I like watching mustaches grow. :fap:

Man, if it isn't already, that needs to be some kind of sexual innuendo.

Also, I'll try to grow out my mustache. Because, fuck it. Rod Beck would have.
