Written By: Contigo on 08/06/21 at 5:04 pm

Former Houston Astros pitcher J.R. Richard died at age 71, according to a statement from the team on Thursday.

"Today is a sad day for the Houston Astros as we mourn the loss of one of our franchise icons," the Astros said. A member of the club's Hall of Fame, Richard's 10-year career with the Astros was cut short by a stroke in July 1980.

For some reason I thought he'd already passed on.

But now he has. :\'(

Still, I remember hearing about how good he was during his career, which seemed promising...but then he had that stroke that terminated his career, as stated above.



Covid?  ???

Apparently he was suffering from complications of it. :\'(
