Cardinals pitcher dies in car crash
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIAED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Josh Hancock, a key member of the bullpen that helped the St. Louis Cardinals win the World Series last season, was killed in a car crash early Sunday.
The Cardinals postponed their home game Sunday night against the Chicago Cubs. It was the second time in less than five years that a St. Louis pitcher died during the season. Darryl Kile was found dead in his hotel room in 2002.
Police said the 29-year-old Hancock was alone in his 2007 Ford Explorer when he struck the rear of a tow truck at 12:35 a.m. The truck was in the left lane assisting another vehicle that was involved in a prior accident, officer Pete Mutter said.
Hancock was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the tow truck, whose name was not released by police, was in the truck at the time of the crash but was not injured. The medical examiner's office said Sunday morning that an autopsy had been scheduled.
"All of baseball today mourns the tragic and untimely death of St. Louis pitcher Josh Hancock," baseball commissioner Bud Selig said. "He was a fine young pitcher who played an important role on last year's World Series championship team."
News of Hancock's death began to circulate around the majors on Sunday morning. Seattle Mariners pitcher Jeff Weaver, who won the World Series clincher for St. Louis in October, got a call from Cardinals reliever Randy Flores.
"I never really had a phone call like that before. It's kind of mindboggling. Just a few days ago I had talked to him on the phone, touching base again because we were pretty good friends at the time," Weaver said. "We spent a lot of time together. It was just hard to believe."
three or four days ago just to chat, and asked if Weaver had received his World Series ring.
Hancock was remembered at ballparks around the country. The Cleveland Indians observed a moment of silence before their game
Weaver said Hancock called him
against the Baltimore Orioles, with Hancock's picture displayed on a giant scoreboard.
"It's terrible, another terrible event," said Rockies manager Clint Hurdle, who was the Colorado hitting coach when Kile was a part of
the Rockies' staff in 1998 and 1999. "The young man had done so well last fall and had a promising career."
A Cardinals-Cubs game also was postponed in June 2002 after Kile died in Chicago. The pitcher died of a coronary artery blockage.

The second day of the NFL draft hardly was without big names and drama. No, Sunday couldn't match the slide of Brady Quinn and the dealing of three 2008 first-round picks. But it had some juicy angles, including Smith, the Ohio State quarterback, going to the Ravens on the final pick of the fifth round. That's 174 picks overall, the ninth quarterback and seventh Buckeye chosen.
NEW YORK — Troy Smith is taking his Heisman Trophy to Baltimore. Randy Moss is bringing his sinking reputation to New England.
"The wait, that's not a concern for me," Smith said. "The concern was the chance to be a part of an organization which is the ideal fit, playing for a winning team and a winning organization and getting a chance to learn from guys like Steve McNair, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, coach (Brian) Billick and Ozzie Newsome."
Baltimore's seasoned roster of winners is a major reason Newsome grabbed Smith.
Heisman winner falls to 174th pick
"I said, 'Here you are, coming off a big time career at Ohio State, playing in the national championship game, the Heisman Trophy winner, and you're probably going to be a nobody because we've got some Hall of Famers that are in that locker room.' And you know what? He really relished that opportunity."
NFL DRAFT
"We felt this was the best scenario for both the Raiders and Randy," Oakland coach Lane Kiffin said.

Moss, who made five Pro Bowls in seven seasons with Minnesota, had 102 catches for 1,558 yards and 11 touchdowns with the Raiders. But he had career lows last season with 42 catches for 553 yards and three touchdowns.
So did Moss, who refuted the impression he has a bad reputation in the NFL.
"I have a microscope (on me) and my microscope is very big," he said. "The people that talk about me, as far as my work ethic and my competitive nature and me going out there and playing football, the best thing I can say to you, male or female, all you have to do is line up against me and see what happens."

Moss never took advantage of his few opportunities with the Oakland Raiders and was dealt to the Patriots on Sunday for a fourth-round pick, No. 110 overall.

The Raiders pumped up their offense by taking quarterback JaMarcus Russell of LSU at the top of the draft; tight end Zach Miller of Arizona State in the second round; wide receiver Johnny Lee Higgins of UTEP and tackle Mario Henderson of Florida State in the third; and Bush.
Oakland selected defensive back John Bowie of Cincinnati with the pick for Moss.
"Just really last night me and coach (Bill) Belichick really talked for the first time about what's been going on," Moss said. "He asked me how excited I (would be) if the opportunity would present itself for me to become a Patriot and, really, I was overwhelmed because I didn't expect to hear from coach Belichick."
It took him two years to become a pariah with the woeful Raiders. Less, actually, because the former All-Pro receiver in Minnesota even admitted he didn't always go all-out
New England never has shied from taking on other teams problem players — perhaps most notably running back Corev Dillon
— and has succeeded with them. Now the Patriots have Moss to bolster their receiving corps, and they chose safety Brandon Meriweather of the Miami Hurricanes in the first round. Meriweather played a prominent role in Miami's brawl with Florida International last season.

"YOUR MOM WANTS YOU TO EAT AT JIMMY JOHN'S!"
"He ran over there and made a bad decision. I don't think that's who he is," coach Bill Belichck said of Meriweather. "I spent time with him (and) a lot of people in that program and I think football's important to him."
Then there was Michael Bush, a likely first-rouder before breaking his leg in Louisville's opener last season. The big, fast running back was the opening pick of the second day after the Raiders had nearly 12 hours to contemplate the selection.
