Sean Burroughs, a former MLB player who pitched back-to-back no-hitters in the Little League World Series for Long Beach in the early 90s, dies at age 43.
Sean Burroughs, who pitched back-to-back no-hitters in the Little League World Series in leading his Long Beach team to consecutive championships and who then followed his father into the major leagues, died Thursday. He was 43. Burroughs went into cardiac arrest at Stearns Park in Long Beach, where he had dropped off his son before a game, the Long Beach Press-Telegram reported. He could not be revived and was pronounced dead at the scene. Burroughs was one of the coaches of his son’s team.
He made his major league debut in 2002 and, two years later, had the walkoff hit that made the Padres winners in the first regular-season game played at Petco Park. Three years later, he was out of baseball, beaten down by what he later told ESPN was a lack of desire and eventual substance abuse. When he dedicated himself to getting back in shape and pursuing another shot at baseball, the Arizona Diamondbacks offered him a minor league contract in 2011.
