"Bugs had a good sense of humor and was lot of fun. But he couldn't stay away from drinking, and a a result you never could be sure he would show up. We were playing in St. Louis. We were suppose to be at the park at noon, and by two o'clock Bugs still hadn't shown up. Finally, we saw Bugs, in civilian clothes, walking across the field toward the clubhouse out beyond center field. (John) McGraw met him at the door and said 'Bugs, you're through in baseball. Here's your uniform (that was the year we had to buy our own uniforms) See Mr. Foster and he will give you a ticket back to New York. You're through with the Giants.' When we finally got back to New York ourselves, hanging in the window of the nearest saloon to the Polo Grounds was Bugs Raymonds uniform, with a sign on it that said 'Bugs Raymond Tending Bar Here' That was 1911 and Bugs never pitched another game in professional baseball. He was an outcast and the next year at the age of thirty he died." - Fred Snodgrass in The Glory of Their Times : The Story of Baseball Told By the Men Who Played It (Lawrence S. Ritter, Harper Perennial Publishers, 03/19/1992, 'Bill Wambsganns', Page 97-98)

On Saturday, September 7, 1912, a maid entered Bugs Raymond's room in the Hotel Veley (Chicago, Illinois) and found him in his bed, deceased. An autopsy revealed that Bugs died from cerebral hemorrhage due to a fractured skull. Two days later, an arrest was made for his murder:

Decades (c. 1965) after his passing, Hall of Fame twirler Rube Marquard quipped, "What a terrific spitball pitcher he was. Bugs (pictured below) drank a lot. He didn't spit on the ball, he blew his breath on it and the ball would come up drunk." [Source: The Gigantic Book of Baseball Quotations, Wayne Stewart, Skyhorse Publishing, 10/17/2007, Page 566)
