The St. Louis Cardinals were informed this morning that pitcher Josh Hancock had died early Sunday morning in a car accident. Tony La Russa then had the difficult task of informing Josh's father. The game tonight has been canceled due to this tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Hancock's family and everyone in the Cardinals organization.
