RHP Ruben Quevedo, 2001-2003 Brewer, gone at age 37 (heart attack)

Rest in peace, sir - you were unique...

Oh, wow. Rest in peace, Ruben. Gone way too soon.

 

Switching out summer/winter clothes over the weekend, I pulled out my Quevedo spring training jersey and wore it right away. It's one of the few authentic jerseys that actually fit me, but that's another story.

This makes me sad. I loved Ruben. I remember chatting with him at the 2002 All-Star game, he and his family were very nice.

Best wishes to Rubén's family.

 

The only articles I'm finding right now are in Spanish. Apparently, Quevedo suffered his heart attack while playing softball at work for Venezuela's Customs and Tax Administration Service.

I remember buying a Quevedo locker nameplate at a clubhouse sale a few years back. I'll have to figure out where I stashed it. RIP.

Last season I was listening to a game where Uecker poked at the ridiculous amount of bobbleheads being given out, when he said "Come on out folks! All fans in attendance will receive a Ruben Quevedo bobblehead."

 

RIP

Way too young to have a heart attack. Yet another thing to make me want to change my lifestyle.

 

RIP Mr. Quevedo. Always a Brewer!

Very sad, way too young. There are guys still playing in the Majors at that age.

 

Prayers for those he left behind.

Very sad. I was super excited when the 'crew traded for him with the Cubs.
