Josh Hancoc Killed in Car Wreck

[mississippimudcat1]

Sad sad story. I was shocked to hear about his death, and even more shocked to find out his funeral will be in Tupelo Mississippi. I watched his brother play at Ole Miss. Here is to his family and friends.

P.S. why does the title change his name to Hanthingy when I press post-I tried to modify it-it still does it-that is why I spelled it Hancoc.

He pitched for the Reading Phillies for a decent amount of time. Sad to hear the news.

I heard about it but had no clue he was from here. Talk about hitting home.

Very sad news. My prayers go out to his family & the whole Cardinals organization............

Good to hear they figured out why he drove poorly. Twice the legal limit...oh good. I guess La Russa's clubhouse meeting where he said "Do as I say, not as I do" didn't go over real well.

He was drunk and they found a marijuana pipe in the wreckage. Now to me its less of a tradgedy and more than anything.........Still ashame though......

Doesn't MLB have a drug testing program? How did this guy slip through the cracks (no pun intended)? Why didn't some of his teammates step up to the plate when he had an accident three days prior form being hungover? You play with the devil, you sometimes get burned. Very sad indeed that no one saw the signs. Hopefully, this will open the eyes of many MLB players, but, some will still think they are invincible and play with fire. Here's hoping I am wrong.......

Yuck, first it was an accident and now it is proven to be his fault because of drugs. I also heard his brother has been found to be taking steroids(wherever he is now.) I hope this is just rumers. Although in this world today any hero can turn out to be a villan.
