The baseball world had to deal with more tragedy on Tuesday. Hall of Fame pitcher Don Sutton passed away during his sleep. He was 75 years old.

When one thinks of Sutton, two images come to mind. The first was during his playing career, when he was a long time fixture for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The second is his second career, when he spent years in the Braves broadcasting booth.
