Former MLB pitcher Brian Matusz has died

Al Yellon created Bleed Cubbie Blue and has been its managing editor since 2005. He's also written three books about the Cubs, the latest is "Chicago Cubs Firsts."

Brian Matusz pitched in exactly one game for the Cubs.

I have tremendously sad news to report to you about him:

Very sad to hear that former #orioles pitcher Brian Matusz passed away this morning. Was 37. 4th-overall pick in 2008 draft.

That’s far too young for anyone to leave this life.
