Saw he passed in 1997 in Mesa, which is 5 min from where we live. In this big world it can get small real quick. My son bought a nice case for it and it is safe.

Amazed at how many deaths I've never noticed because the information was just a quick blurb somewhere one time and then forgotten to history. Some of the deaths I know some about and others have been unknown until the moment. I knew Mr. Million had died but I never knew what transpired. Thanks for the post. Keep up the work of telling the stories of players who the casual (and even avid fan) have never before read or heard.STGSTONES62https://www.blogger.com/profile/12417991812963620641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240193375654745928.post-83921545126402631402020-05-11T15:58:35.014-04:002020-05-11T15:58:35.014-04:00Just read your post... thanks for writing it.

Such a tragic death and one that was in a string of tragic deaths that hit the Sarasota High School baseball program in the mid/late 90's. Hopefully Doug's legacy will live on.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05829626963679129865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240193375654745928.post-33758598818659100112012-02-26T20:06:02.186-05:002012-02-26T20:06:02.186-05:00Pete,
I was reading about former West Forsyth High...Pete,<br />I was reading about former West Forsyth High School/UNCC graduate Erik Walker when I saw something about baseball players that had died at young ages. I saw Doug Million on the list. I had seen one of his cards before that and thought he had a cool name and thought of doing something with He, Brad Penny, Don Money, etc, so his name was fresh in my mind. When I saw that he died, I was like, wow, I didn't know that, and I looked into why and here we are...William Regenthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06802296646537948234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240193375654745928.post-17073869437528087132012-02-26T20:02:44.369-05:002012-02-26T20:02:44.369-05:00Thanks for sharing.Thanks for sharing.Johngyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18416011578421652629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240193375654745928.post-3045472863188788062012-02-26T19:47:23.938-05:002012-02-26T19:47:23.938-05:00How did you run across this guy?
