Rod Beck found dead at the age of 38

Rod Beck was always entertaining. Whether it was keeping the game interesting in the ninth, or having a beer with a fan in his Winnebago outside the park in AAA Iowa, Shooter always seemed to have fun. The only time he didn’t have a smile on his face was when he was staring down opposing batters. He would stare them down, and swing his arm as he got the sign from his catcher. Apparently Beck struggled with substance abuse later recently. He entered rehab during the 2004 season. Police don’t expect foul play in his death, but they will not know the exact cause of death for a couple of days. Beck is survived by his wife and two children.
