Pitcher Joe Kennedy, 28, dies in Florida after collapsing at in-laws' home

November 23, 2007

AP - Nov 23, 2:42 pm EST




TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Joe Kennedy, a journeyman left-hander who pitched for three major league teams last season, died at his in-laws' home Friday. He was 28.

After going to bed early, Kennedy woke up at about 1:15 a.m. Friday and collapsed as he was leaving a bedroom at the home of his wife's parents, Hillsborough County sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter said. Hillsborough County Fire Rescue took Kennedy to Brandon Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, she said.

"We were terribly shocked," Blue Jays president Paul Godfrey told The Associated Press. "From what we understand he was in Brandon ... to be the best man at a wedding today."

Godfrey didn't have particulars on the cause of death.

"Obviously, when a 28-year-old man dies, ball player or not, it's a terrible, terrible thing," he said.

Claimed by Arizona in August, he was released that month after just three appearances. The Blue Jays signed him Aug. 29, and Kennedy got his first win as a Blue Jay on Sept. 21, in New York against the Yankees.

Kennedy and his family still lived in the Denver area and had just bought a new house, Rockies first baseman Todd Helton, one of Kennedy's closest friends, told the Denver Post.

"It's a sad day and a sad situation," Helton said. "He's leaving a wife and a little boy behind."

That family meant everything to Kennedy, Weissmann said.

"He was a great father. He loved that boy and his wife both more than anything in the world. That son of his was the apple of his eye," Weissmann said. "He just was really looking forward to everything that a father shares with a son."

The cause of death has not been determined yet but Kennedy's agent, Damon Lapa, has said the sudden nature of the death makes a brain aneurysm or a heart attack likely.
