On Sunday, the Cardinals lost another player, Josh Hancock. Hancock died when his car hit the back of a flat bed truck. Earlier in the year, the Cardinals lost a player due to a heart attack. The game between the Cubs and the Cardinals is postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date. On Thursday, the team will fly out to
Tupelo, Mississippi for the funeral.
The manager of the Cardinals said he remembered the phone call he received saying that Hancock was dead. He said that people should pray for his family and the teammates, and pray they make it through okay.
The accident:
The Ford explorer driven by Mr. Hancock plowed into the back of the flatbed tow truck, Hancock was killed instantly and the truck driver (whose name was not yet released) did not receive any injuries. The autopsy was performed, and no sign of alcohol or any type of drug was found. Some say he could have been tired others say he was sad and depressed, but the team said he had no reason to be depressed and that he seemed happy. Who knows why he crashed, but the team is very distraught.
