Everyone at Batter's Box is shocked and depressed to learn of the untimely passing of John Brattain.
I never met John, who posted here from time to time - I knew him from his work at the Hardball Times, Baseball Daily Digest, and his own blog. I know that 43 is way too young to die.
He leaves a wife and two children, and our hearts go out to them.
