Former Braves, Angels pitcher Tommy Hanson dies at 29

[Darth Nubian]

Tommy fell off because his wind up from the stretch was slow. Once he changed his mechanics he got injured and the white girl finished him off. RIP Tommy Hanson

We dedicating threads to coke heads now?

at "organ failure"

"Former teammates near him huh". Guess those were the guys he was snorting up with when his "organs failed".

 

[distinguishedNOW]

I (and most Braves fans really) always thought he had next coming up through the system. That's too bad.

Do Cocaine brehs

So Schafer's a cokehead too?

That surprise you? He looks like he does more than coke

 

[Robert California]

I don't think it was just cocaine...Doc Gooden did all sorts of Blow in the 80's and he's still here.
When I see words like "catastrophic organ failure", it lets me know his body shut down.
Maybe all that partying caught up to him.
I'm only speculating since Hanson was just 29, but damn RIP to the man.
This is sad.

As a Mets fan I thought wow..I'm not looking forward to facing this guy the next ten years in nl east..

Then he declined and the braves traded him (and you know the braves never get rid of pitchers who are valuable) I remember feeling it was strange his decline

Really sorry to hear this rip

 

[WaddupDoe!]

knew it had to be drugs. he probably was coked out his whole time with the Angels.

 

[1970s HeRon Flow]

His body wasn't bout that party life
R.I.P.

 

[jeh]

Rip

 

[JamilALAmin]

He probably was a coke head. But that shyt said catastrophic organ failure. That sounds like a heroin overdose.

 

[BAMBA]

R.I.P.

 

[Listen]

I hate to be that guy, but had this been a n1gga, drugs would be the first thing out of everyone's mouth... Everywhere I saw this story, for the most part the comments have been on some about drugs being the cause.

I know your not that dude, but posts like this make me hate the Coli sometimes.

Exactly how I felt man. Dude had a nice curveball and seemed like he was gonna be legit. I added him to the Mets on The Show after he got traded and had fallen off a lil cuz I still thought he was nasty. (I used to trade Duda every year but we don't need to talk about that now) smh at the show always fukking up with the Mets too but that's for another thread.
