Questions Remain in Suicide of Baseball Player

Last week we noted the death of former big league baseball utility player Ryan Freel, who shot himself at the age of 36.   I'd followed his career for years and his reputation as a reckless, all-out player.  A major NYT piece up just now, covers his 10 to 15 concussions, and concerns raised by his ex-wife for a long period.  Until now, concussions that may have led to early deaths of football players have gotten the lion's share of attention, but this may change things a bit.
