Crap....seems like two CFL teams drafted a dead guy! (I only know of the first instance)

In 1997 when the Las Vegas Posse folded the Ottawa Rough Riders drafted Darrell Robertson who had died in a car accident 5 months earlier!

The Montreal Alluettes drafted a dead guy in the '97 canadian draft when they drafted James Eggink of Northern Illinois. Eggink died of cancer 3 months earlier.

Way to go D-Backs, hopefully you'll stay on the bottom of the NL West for a long, long time.

Stupid, just stupid. Even Osco ran a background check, when they hired me. But a MLB team doesn't run one on their manager.

I think the Mets did, which was why they took a pass on Backman... This makes the D Back front office look awfully stupid.
