Default Rockies Prez dies at 48
I was shocked when I saw this! No reason yet for his cause of death.
RIP

6ft 7 270....Hearts aren't made to handle this kind of body for that long. People don't realize when you get above a certain high/weight combo you are a time bomb. RIP by the way

65-70 for people this big....Look at ex-NFL lineman for example. Not a long life expectancy. Andre the Giant dead early 40's

He did play in the NFL. According to the radio he was a tight end.
