Former Reds outfielder Eddie Milner dies at 60

 

[Steak Snabler]

Quintessential Astroturf player. Had no power to speak of, but could really run. Also not bad at getting on base.

RIP.

 

[RubberSoul1979]

Played on the '87 Giants, forever a highly regarded team here in NorCal. Didn't he battle substance abuse? RIP.

 

[Corky Ramirez up on 94th St.]

He was a cousin to the Hammer, John Milner (who also did not live very long, comparatively speaking). And yes, Eddie did have cocaine issues.
