The 1976-77 offseason saw 4 active major leaguers pass away in a less than 3 month period from October 9, 1976 to January 7, 1977.
October 9, 1976 Bob Moose - car accident 29th birthday [Pirates]
December 2, 1976 Danny Murtaugh - stroke [Pirates]
December 10, 1976 Danny Thompson - cancer [Rangers]
January 1, 1977 Danny Frisella - dune buggy accident [Brewers]
January 7, 1977 Mike Miley - car accident [Angels]
I still say 1970 was more tragic.
