Former Cub Juan Pizarro has passed away
Getty Images Sometimes guys play a long time in the major leagues and have good but not great careers and then are forgotten.
Thus today I want to remember former Cubs lefthander Juan Pizarro:
My friend Juan Pizarro has passed away. Pray for his family. Juan was one of my mentors. He’s now in heaven with Roberto, Vera & José Pagan..an all time PuertoRican team. Kind, loving and a great human. #RIP #QEPD \u26be\ufe0f
