Ex Brave Tommy Hanson dead at age 29

Crazy man just crazy. Saw people posting pics of him just this past weekend and he looked fine. Just never know. Sad sad news.
 
Feel awful for him, his family and friends. Just terrible and tragic news. Always liked watching him when he was with the Braves. RIP
 
RIP Tommy 😢 I'm speechless and heartbroke, 29 is too young for anyone regardless of being a known athlete or not to go.

Wow hate to hear this news. First saw him in Rome, and knew he was special. Went to several of his starts at Gwinnett, and couldn't wait for him to be in the show. Always enjoyed seeing big red take the mound. Such a sad situation for a family to lose someone that young.
 
Wow. I'm stunned. My best memory of him is his incredibly dominant AFL performance that confirmed he would be in Atlanta's plans that following season.
 
I've had the honor of crossing Tommy's path more than a few times and he was always very kind. This news was like a punch to the stomach. RIP Big Red.
 
From DOB story:

"In the 2009 NL Rookie of the Year balloting, Hanson finished behind Chris Coghlan and J.A. Happ and ahead of Andrew McCutchen."
