Ed Bressoud, who died last week at the age of 91, was one of only two players to ever wear the uniforms of both the New York Giants and the New York Mets.

The other?  Willie Mays. (Possible coincidental death alert!!)

However, it was with Boston that Ed’s career really took off. He played with the Red Sox from 1962 through 1965 — finishing in the top 30 in American League MVP voting twice. In 1963 he was voted the team MVP, and made the All-Star team a year later.

Ed Bressoud died from cerebellar ataxia — an inability to coordinate muscle movement due to disease or injury to the cerebellum.

Takashi Miura was born in Yono City, now Chuo Ward, Saitama City, and died at the age of 45 on July 24 and played baseball for Yomiuri Giants and Saitama Seibu Lions, In March 2022, he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, dedicated himself to treatment with radiotherapy and surgery, returning to work and training in March 2023. However, his health deteriorated again in June of the same year. His physical condition remained stable for a while, such as visiting his alma mater's game at the Saitama Koshien tournament in the summer, but his condition suddenly changed in the early hours of July 24 of the same year, dying on that date.

That link says he died on 9th October. Remember that Americans give birth and death dates the wrong way round.
