Description
The only Major League Baseball player to be killed during a game was Ray Chapman and it happened in 1920. The story is tragic even beyond what was likely an accident. Likely, because, well, the player who threw the pitch had a reputation for hitting batters, on purpose, and after hitting Ray Chapman with the fatal pitch did himself no favors by continuing to be a pretty unlikable fellow. And... that's not all. Ray Chapman's wife was pregnant at the time and neither she nor her child make it out of this story alive either. Truely one of the saddest sports deaths ever. One of our 100 darkest moments in pop culture history series.
