OT - Don Wilson
I was just reading about Don Wilson, pitcher for the Astros who died at the age of 29 in 1975. I was born a few years after he passed, but in reading about him...he seemed like a pretty darn good pitcher. His death seems somewhat mysterious. Does anyone know the official or unofficial story behind his death? I got this from Wikipedia:
"On January 5, 1975, Wilson died at his Fondren Southwest Houston home he shared with his wife, daughter and son. Wilson was found in the passenger seat of his brown Ford Thunderbird inside the garage with the engine running. The garage was attached to the house, which caused his son, Alex, to die also and his daughter and wife be hospitalized in a coma. The official cause of death states that Wilson's death was accidental." Sorry for such a bleak post, but I was just curious. Rob PS - Sorry for the off-topic post on the Pre-War side!!
