You will be missed

Cerutti dead at 44
"Cerutti was scheduled to handle colour commentary for Sunday's broadcast of the final game of the regular season. When he didn't report for an 11:00 am production meeting, Rogers Sportsnet officials and hotel staffers attempted unsuccessfully to reach his Toronto hotel room. Ultimately, police officers and emergency medical service workers entered his room and found the 44-year-old absent of all vital signs. It is believed he died of natural causes. No foul play is suspected."

This is truly a sad day for the Blue Jays family. Cerutti a player and now a broadcaster died this morning of natural causes, only 44 years of age. John had come a long way as a colour man, with him and Faulds really forming a tight group as the season went on. All of our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and 3 kids, goodbye John, you will be missed.
