Lyman Bostock may be one of the best hitters ever to come through the Minnesota Twins organization. But he stands out in the history of Major League Baseball for another reason. He is the only Major League Baseball player to be murdered during a season.

It was 30 years ago this year. ESPN has put together a section on its Web site about Bostock.
