Former 2-Month Phillie Dies

Sad news from baseballville: Mike Coolbaugh, a minor-league first base coach for the Rockies, was killed after being struck in the head by a line drive while standing in the first-base coach's box on Sunday.

FYI: Coolbaugh was signed by the Phils as a free agent on December 5, 2002, but was released 2 months later.

Scary stuff. Condolences to his family, and be careful out there, coaches.
