tragic news...


ST. LOUIS (TICKER) -- St. Louis Cardinals pitcher John Hancock was killed in an early-morning auto accident, the team announced on Sunday. He was 29.

Hancock was traveling westbound on highway 64/40 within the St. Louis city limits when the accident occurred. It is unknown if another vehicle was involved.

Due to the tragic incident, the finale of a weekend series between the Cardinals and Chicago Cubs set for Sunday evening was postponed.

St. Louis is expected to make a brief statement along with the St. Louis police at Busch Stadium at 3 p.m. local time.

A member of St. Louis' World Series-winning squad last year, the righthanded Hancock appeared in eight games this season, going 0-1 with a 3.55 ERA in 12 2/3 innings.

Hancock, who was single, pitched for six seasons, going 9-7 with a 4.20 ERA and one save in 102 games between the Cardinals, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Boston.
