Joaquin Andujar 1952-2015
The great Dominican pitching star, Joaquin Andujar, has died at the age of 62 after a long battle with diabetes. He has been living in his hometown in the D.R., San Pedro de Macoris, since his retirement. I call him my favorite player, and I'll wear his retro pullover to work on Friday when the rest of the office will be dressed in Iowa State red or Iowa black. Tonight he's being called an inspiration to his fellow countrymen by Pedro Martinez, but he also inspired children outside of the Dominican Republic to always give their all. I wrote my tribute to him in 2010.
