Re: Joe Kennedy passes away
wow this is very sad oh well all we can do now is pray for his family rip joe kennedyMajor league left-hander Joe Kennedy dies
Major league pitcher Joe Kennedy died early Friday morning while at home with his family in Florida, agent Damon Lapa confirmed to ESPN.com.
The cause of Kennedy's death could not immediately be determined, Lapa said.
Kennedy, 28, compiled a 43-61 record in seven major league seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays, Colorado Rockies, Oakland Athletics, Arizona Diamondbacks and Toronto Blue Jays.
A left-hander, Kennedy broke into the majors in 2001 with the Devil Rays. In three full seasons with Tampa Bay he made 72 starts, compiling an 18-31 record.
Since 2004, Kennedy had two stints each with Colorado and Oakland. He started the 2007 season with Oakland, was claimed off waivers in August by Arizona, then designated for assignment before being signed by the Blue Jays on Aug. 29.
Kennedy had a career 4.79 ERA, pitching 908 2/3 innings over 222 career appearances.
He made his last appearance in relief on Sept. 29 in a 5-3 win over Tampa Bay.

He was also hoping to impress the Jays enough to get an invite to ST next year and hopefully work in relief.

Re: Joe Kennedy passes away
Saw on ESPN that it may have been a brain aneurism (sp). A friend of mine passed away from the same thing earlier this year. She was about the same age too.
Prayers go out to his loved ones.Comment

Re: Joe Kennedy passes away
RIP, I feel bad for his wife and 1 year old, he seemed like a great guy, who cared for his kids even more than his basebal career which is not like most players now days. He never gave up, and kept at it when things weren't going great.Comment

Re: Joe Kennedy passes away
One in every 15 people in the US will suffer from a brain aneurysm."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace
