R.I.P. Rod Beck


Former Giants reliever Rod Beck died alone in his Arizona home on Saturday. Beck was only 38, and the cause of death is unknown at this time, but police do not suspect foul play. Rod Beck is 22nd on the all time saves list, at 286. He began his career in San Francisco, where he played from 1991 to 1997. He was the team's closer all of those years except his rookie season and the end of the 1997 season. During his time with the Giants, Beck saved 199 games with a 3.05 ERA. Rod Beck will undoubtedly be sorely missed by players and fans alike.
