Today marks the 1 year anniversary of the death of Cardinals relief pitcher Josh Hancock. Hancock was killed in a car accident in St. Louis last year in which it was found he was intoxicated at the time of the crash. As sad as his passing was, it lead to the Cardinals (and several other teams around the league) to change their clubhouse alcohol policies and, if nothing else, brought drunk driving into perspective for a lot of people both in and out of baseball. It is always a shame when someone dies too young, but there was some good to come out of the aftermath of this tragedy. R.I.P., Josh Hancock (1978-2007).
