St. Louis Cardinals reliever Josh Hancock was killed in a tragic automobile accident Sunday morning.
The St. Louis Cardinals were informed Sunday morning by the St. Louis Police Department of the tragic death of pitcher Josh Hancock, 29, who was killed in an auto accident on westbound Highway 64/40 within the city limits.
Cardinals’ Manager Tony La Russa informed Josh’s father of the tragedy. Major League Baseball representatives have also been notified and Sunday night’s 7:05 p.m. game with the Chicago Cubs has been postponed.
The Cardinals and the St. Louis Police Department will make a brief statement to the news media at 3 p.m. CDT in the Busch Stadium interview room.
Hancock, who is single, has been a member of the St. Louis Cardinals since February of 2006 and helped the team to its 10th World Series title last Fall.
The Cardinals have asked that all fans join the team in offering their prayers and condolences to Josh Hancock’s family
