The Animal dead at 54

[sox83cubs84]

Former Reds and Brewers pitcher Brad (The Animal) Lesley died on April 17. He was 54.

Lesley pitched for the Reds in 1982-84 and spent his final MLB season with Milwaukee in 1985.

This one hits a little closer to home than most obituaries I enter in this thread. It wasn't because I knew Lesley or was a big fan of his, but rather the sobering fact that he was only 16 days older than I am.

Sorry, Dave. That must be rough thinking about.
