Former MLB Player Sean Burroughs Dies at Age 43; Won Gold Medal at 2000 Olympics

Former MLB infielder, two-time Little League World Series champion and Olympic gold medalist Sean Burroughs died Thursday at age 43.

The news was first announced Friday in an Instagram post by the California-based Long Beach Little League.

Burroughs won Little League World Series Championships with the club in 1992 and 1993, and later returned to coach his son there.

Long Beach Little League president Doug Wittman told Kyle Glaser of the San Bernardino Sun that Burroughs was discovered unresponsive and pronounced dead at the scene in the parking lot outside the Little League stadium where his son was playing.
