At year’s end, it’s a good time to reflect and remember those that we lost throughout the year.
In the baseball world in general: Hall of Famers Henry Aaron and Don Sutton, former Yankees infielder and American League President Bobby Brown, longtime Red Sox player and broadcaster Jerry Remy, former Cy Young winners Mike Marshall and LaMarr Hoyt, former All-Star pitchers J.R. Richard and Mudcat Grant, and numerous other notables including Del Crandall, Joe Cunningham, Ray Fosse, Bill Freehan, Rennie Stennett, Bill Virdon and Stan Williams.
There were also 11 members of the Cubs family who passed away in 2021, 10 players and a coach, so let’s remember them here.
