Rod Beck Dies
Former closer Rod Beck passed away Saturday:
Neither Thurman nor Phoenix police disclosed the cause of the death.
Beck had two daughters, both of whom were at a camp in California and were being told about their father's death in person by their mother.
Beck was born and raised in California but had settled in Arizona after his professional career ended three years ago.
In 1993, at age 24, Beck developed into one of the game's best closers, saving 48 games for the Giants and finishing 12th in the National League Most Valuable Player balloting.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
