He played in 3 double-headers that year, I wonder if that's messing with the numbers.

Strangely, BBR doesn't list the Orioles as having a tie that year, even though they list them as having ties in '96, '01, and '03: http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/BAL/

My guess is a game that didn't go enough innings and was completely replayed.

Sorry, didn't see that it was already figured out.

Baseball players seem to die in car crashes at a higher rate than a lot of other demographics.

The average career (in years) in the NFL is much shorter than in MLB, so a lot of these football guys die, too, in their 20's and 30's but they are so far out of the public eye at that point, noone notices.

And the NBA has way less players so that is just a numbers game.

Bobby Phills was a pretty high profile NBA traffic death. Maybe he played minor league baseball at some point?

Hopefully the league doesn't just turn around and hand him another team to run into the ground this time.
