Former MLB pitcher Anthony Varvaro, who retired in 2016 to become a New York City police officer, died in a car crash on Sunday morning as he was on his way to work at the Sept. 11 memorial ceremony, according to The Associated Press.
He was 37.
Varvaro spent six years as a relief pitcher for the Seattle Mariners, Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox before he retired in 2016. He’s worked as a police officer for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey ever since.
