Major League Baseball Players Who Died in 2013

MLB Players That Died in 2013

Yogi Berra was looking up at the scoreboard on Old Timers' Day, saw the list of Yankee greats who had recently died, and said, "Boy, I hope I never see my name up there." The research below, by Baseball Almanac, allows you to "check the scoreboard" and see every ballplayer who died during any given year.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The list of baseball players who died are sorted by default in alphabetical order, using the player's last name. However, you can sort the data to meet your needs. Click where it says "Died In" and the data will be sorted by the place of death. Click "Date of Death" and see it listed chronologically, for the given year. Debut Year and Final Year (in the majors) are also sortable.

Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"If anybody talks about a dead guy during a broadcast, I'll sack 'em. I'm sick of dead guys. Whenever I turn on baseball, all I hear about is dead guys. If I hear a name, I'm going to ask: 'Is he dead?' And if he is, you're fired." - Fox Sports President David Hill in The Cultural Encyclopedia of Baseball (Jonathan Fraser Light, 2005)
