gone but not forgotten

The grim reaper comes for all of us, even those lucky enough to have played major league baseball. If you're interested in finding out more about the players who've made it to that big diamond in the sky, head on over to The Deadball Era. This profoundly reverent site contains reprints of the newspaper obituaries of a massive number of players, along with a list of gravesite locations that's truly mind-boggling in its length. You'll find compendiums of baseballers who met their maker through murder, suicide, or at a sadly young age, along with those who are happily still with us despite being eighty or more years old. The webmaster, Frank Russo, updates The Deadball Era frequently with more death-related tidbits, so you'll want to stop here often to pay your respects.
