So how many Dead '84 Padres does that make now?  I've got Gwynn, Wiggins and Show.  Anyone else?  TJ?  



Mario Ramirez - died February 22, 2013.
Champ Summers - died October 11, 2012.

Did not know about Champ Summers--also a former Cub.

Can't think of anyone offhand on that Cubs team that's kicked.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

This was compiled in 2009, and other than spending time clicking on everyone in baseball-reference, is the best you can do. But on this list, all players are still on the right side of the grass.

As opposed to the '98 team that has seen the deaths of Geremi Gonzalez, Rod Beck and Kevin Foster (Frank Castillo, also dead, ended his Cubs career the year before.)

That's just offhand, could be more from that team, but those were just the ones I know to be deceased.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

DPD.  So how many Dead '84 Padres does that make now?  I've got Gwynn, Wiggins and Show.  Anyone else?  TJ?  



The correct answer is "not enough".

Especially while Garevy's head remains frustratingly off a stick.

Turkey garevy?

Garevy is delicious on optoats.

The best part was SKO misspelling "garevy" as "garvey" pre-edit.
Loor and I came acrossks like opatoets.

Dammit, Thrill.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

Mario Ramirez - died February 22, 2013.
Champ Summers - died October 11, 2012.

The 1984 Padres have almost as many unfortunate occurrences as the 1985 Bears.

Dick Williams is dead.

Dave Dravecky might have said after Game 2 of the NLCS, "Lord, anything, I'll give you my left arm if need be" to win the pennant.
Luis Salazar died the million deaths we did in the 1989 NLCS and then lost an eye.
Andy Hawkins allowed no hits to the White Sox and still lost the game.
Steve Garvey has paternity suits to manage.
Many of the Padres had to be managed by Larry Bowa three short years later.

Revenge is ours.

Everyone else still alive.
