R.I.P.: Radio, TV MLB Analyst Darryl Hamilton


Former pro baseball player and MLB Network analyst Darryl Hamilton was found dead in a possible murder-suicide in a community outside Houston, reports CNN.

Pearland, Texas, police officers on Sunday afternoon responded to a disturbance call between a man and a woman, and when they arrived found the bodies of two adults at the residence and a 14-month-old child. The 911 call was made by a third party.

Hamilton, 50, had been shot several times, police said, and Jordan, 44, had an apparently self-inflicted wound.

At the outset, the deaths "appeared to be the result of a murder-suicide," Pearland police said in a statement. The investigation is ongoing, the agency added.

Hamilton had a lengthy Major League career that spanned from 1988 to 2001. The outfielder played for a number of teams, with his longest stints with the Milwaukee Brewers, the San Francisco Giants and the New York Mets.

He worked as an occasional analyst for the Milwaukee Brewers, for Compass Media Networks on its coverage of the Angels, and for Gow-owned Houston-market all-sports stations KFNC 97.5 FM and KGOW 1560 AM.
