Rheal Cormier, the pride of New Brunswick, who pitched for three MLB teams in 16 seasons, died today of pancreatic cancer. He was 53. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/rheal-cormier-former-mlb-pitcher-who-spent-16-seasons-in-the-majors-dies-at-53/

Pitched for the Phillies in the early 2000s when those teams got close to the playoffs but could never get over the hump ------------------------------- * Ed * L8 * Cards in my personal Collection are unavailable *

Feels like he always pitched really well vs. Atlanta... I recall seeing them face him as a member of the Cardinals, Expos, and Phillies. Hate to hear he's passed away. So young... ------------------------------- Check out my COMC Flip Quests to obtain a Mike Trout RC and Ronald Acuna Jr. Rookie Auto: http://romheadcards.wordpress.com Making trades for 2020 Allen & Ginter A&G Back Minis!

I heard that a few minutes ago. It really sucks. Pancreatic cancer is hard to treat and generally discovered too late to treat it well. That's the second Expos "hometown hero" (after Derek Aucoin who had the same brain cancer as Gary Carter had) that passes away lately. Both from cancer and both way too young.
