Ex-Mlb closer Rod Beck dead at 38

Rod Beck was found dead in his home on Saturday. There is no sign of foul play police say but his cause of death wont be revealed for a few days. Beck was a relief pitcher for 13 years, mostly as a closer. He played for the San Francisco Giants(1991-97), the Chicago Cubs(1998-99), Boston Red Sox(1999-2001), and the San Diego Padres(2003-04). He had 286 saves over his career, a 38-45 record, and a 3.30 ERA in 704 career ballgames. He had 48 saves for the Giants in 1993 and 51 saves for the Cubs in 1998. Many people will remember his handle-bar moustache from when he played.
