Ivan Calderon #184




This week, Ivan Calderon. We didn’t plan it, but today (3/19/2024) would have been Ivan’s 62nd birthday. Ivan was a top prospect for the Seattle Mariners who gave up on him early and sent him to the Chicago White Sox. He wore a ton of gold chains and had a great 1987, hitting .293 with 28 home runs. Ivan dealt with injuries, was traded for Rock Raines, was an all star in Montreal, and retired at 31.

Ivan was murdered at 41 and no one has ever been arrested in connection with his death. RIP Ivan Calderon.
