Professional Hitter lives on in spirit with Dom Smith.

Really young. That sucks

Trump’s silence on this is deafening.

Way too young when it's someone I actually watched

 

[CyYoung31]

In all seriousness, I will never forget his 8th inning homerun that virtually clinched a sweep of the Phillies in late June/early July 2009. It looked like we were about to give them a run.

I need you to live longer than Garrett Anderson, please.

 

[Carp]

What was the board nickname for him back in the day? Gazelle? Deer? I can't recall.

 

[Hulavol]

The Professional Hitter. Damn man- hate hearing this.

Also I was kind of amazed when I looked at his baseball reference page that even though he had like 2500 hits thereabouts his wins above replacement... was not what I expected

He’s the worst defensive outfielder I’ve ever seen…at least when he was a Brave.

Man so we're talking like worse than Ryan klesko and much worse than post ACL(s) Ronald Acuna

I mean look at his OPS+, he basically was a singles merchant.

Pretty I've seen it mentioned on this board that he was like sticking a beach chair in the outfield on defense. RIP

Tally loved this dude.

 

[Mrs. Meta]

Tally loved this dude.

Almost as much as he did Adam Dunn

But yeah, rip Nathan White, also of a heart attack
