<p>he died of a brain aneurysm. I remember the famous nail file incident when it fell out of his back pocket</p><p><a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=ArYdf7VJ0okVRHNYjuUIESkRvLYF?slug=ap-obit-joeniekro&prov=ap&type=lgns">http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=ArYdf7VJ0okVRHNYjuUIESkRvLYF?slug=ap-obit-joeniekro&prov=ap&type=lgns</a></p>

<p>Yet another decent pitcher the Cubs drafted who went on to better things elsewhere. RIP, Joe.</p>
