This one was surprising, to say the least.
Former pitcher Geremi Gonzalez dies
Right-hander, who pitched for five teams, killed by lightning
The Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela -- Former Major League pitcher Geremi Gonzalez, who won 11 games for the Chicago Cubs in 1997, was killed by a lightning strike in his native Venezuela on Sunday. He was 33.
Emergency management official Herman Bracho said Monday that Gonzalez was struck by lightning at a beach.
There's only three more paragraphs. He was a Met in '06. He was pretty ineffective, but he wasn't as bad as Jose Lima and he actually got a win for the Mets.
