You have got to be kidding! I saw him pitch with San Jose (Cal League) once and with Sacramento (PCL) several times this summer. He was working his way back in the Giants organization. Too bad.

i know it sux. he was visiting a friend in Atlanta and the friend's girlfriend who was alerted because Hansons dog wouldn't quit barking and wouldn't leave the side of his bed. she called 911 and he was immediately put into intensive care and with 24 hours suffered total organ failure and was dead. RIP Mister Hanson.
