Ex-Mariner Russ Swan dies at 42

[Zito75]

Former M's pitcher Russ Swan died after falling down a flight of stairs.
He was 42. He was with the M's in the early 90's and finished his career with Cleveland in '94.
I actually had the chance to have dinner with him back in '91. He was a good guy. RIP, Russ.

That's a shame. He wasn't a great pitcher but he acheived a dream. I echo your sentiment,RIP Russ.

RIP, you will be missed. He may not have been a good pitcher, but his achievements will be preserved. The source said that he careened his head into a solid object, causing massive brain damage that killed him. May you be missed, Russ. :'-(
