I need a little help on this. I'm currently working on an article for one of my publishers regarding baseball players that died during their careers, or careers that were cut short due to terminal illness. So far I have Clemente, Munson, Kyle, and Lidle. Any ideas on a few more?

Ray Chapman is the only player to die from a game related injury after being hit in the head by submarine pitcher Carl Mays during an Indians Yankees game.

Bobby Allison's career was cut short due to illness.
There was another Cardinals pitcher that died in his hotel room just a few years ago, I cant think of his name though.
