theyā€™re not that common

common enough 1.7 million people will watch a video of someone dying though

but like. on the field deaths for any of the other major american sports are super rare

Apparently the guy was arrested

ray chapmanā€™s death was caused by a dirty spitball, thus forcing mlb to implement rules requiring the replacemente of dirty baseballs and banning the spitball. except instead of actually banning the spitball they let each team have one pitcher who could keep using it. some teams had legal spitball pitchers well into the 30s

considering that he died from getting hit in the head you would think that his death led to the implementation of batting helmets but nope! over 30 years later
