I think Leon was saying that he was the only one to commit suicide during the season. Moore had actually been cut from the KC Royals a month prior to him killing himself. It was during the season, but Moore technically was a part of the season.


From wiki:

On July 18, 1989, during an argument with his wife Tonya, Moore shot her three times, the incident occurring in witness of their three children at their Anaheim Hills home. Tonya Moore and daughter Demetria, then 17 years of age, fled from the house and Demetria drove her mother to the hospital. Both survived the shooting.

Back inside the house, still in the presence of one of his sons, Moore then fatally shot himself.

"When he was cut by Kansas City, he'd really been depressed about that. I mean, here he is, the high-life career . . . then all of a sudden, it's gone. He comes back home . . . and the marriage, the family, is all destroyed. I mean, what else does he have left?"
