Agganis you mean?

Oh. Well in that case you could certainly add Harry Agganis to the list, tragically a perfect example of a young man taken very early.

yeah, sorry the Golden Greek, yes. Weird fact his successor at QB at BU followed him to the Majors and died young (23) in a plane crash Tom Gastall. No card that I'm aware of but he did play a little in the Majors.

From what I've read Agganis' death might have been avoided with better medical care. Awful story. Always makes me think of the A.E. Housman poem.
