He was 48.</a>

<p>Coachella, CA</p><p>Was he despondent that Phish broke up and wouldn't be preforming at the festival?</p>

[FezPaul]

<p>I'll take break from Yankee-hating to say I'm sorry to hear this.</p><p>A sad end to a troubled life.</p>

[BoondockSaint]

<p>I can't believe it wasn't an overdose.&nbsp; </p>

God Speed Steve. You will be missed. Anyone know what number he was with the yanks?

[Crippler]

<p>He wore&nbsp;#57 most of his career, but during one of his stints he had to wear #58 for a little while because someone (maybe Roberto Kelly?) was wearing #57.</p><p>R.I.P. Steve.</p>

Until he changed his number to .357.....MAGNUM<br />

[Snoogans]

<font size="2">&quot;<span style="font-style: italic">Hello, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms? I have an alcohol question: Who was in the very first Lite Beer commercial? I say it was Bubba Smith but I have a friend who thinks it was...Hello?...Hello?!&quot;</span></font>

In recent years, he owned an energy drink company in Arizona. <p>&quot;I just saw Steve last winter when his son was pitching against my son,&quot; Scioscia said. &quot;Everything was looking up for him and he looked great. </p><p>This is even more tragic if he&nbsp;REALLY&nbsp;was getting his shit together at last.&nbsp; </p>
