I'll say it's something that he lived to 71 with all his health issues and the fact that he was homeless for an extended period.


Dude was flat filthy back in the day. He and Nolan Ryan back to back was no fun at all.


RIP
Yeah, didn't he have a stroke while still a player?

Great pitcher, RIP.

You seem angry. Miserable, even.

That rotation with those two, Joaquin Andujar & Mike Scott...

They absolutely missed J.R. in the playoffs. That NLCS against the Phillies is still one of the best I've ever witnessed.

Yeah I wasn't sure he was still alive either. RIP. That guy was striking out 300 a year back when guys didn't like to strike out

With his myriad of health issues, it will be very difficult to actually say just what he died of.
His career was like a meteor. It was very bright for a very short time and ended abruptly, unfortunately. He was one of the most talented pitchers I ever saw, if only on TV.
Rest in Peace, sir.
