LSU fans gave him a standing ovation for his performance that night. This makes me sad.

Sad. Any info on where he was living, age, etc.?

BATON ROUGE, La. - No. 10 Baylor scored three runs in the eighth to break open a 1-1 tie and beat 7th-ranked LSU 4-1 Friday night in the first game of a best-of-three NCAA Super Regional.

Senior starter Steven White (9-4), a fourth-round pick earlier this week in the Major League draft, pitched eight gutty innings for the win, allowing just one run. White struck out nine, walked two and scattered seven hits. The victory was the 28th of White's career, tying him with Burl Coker (1975-78) for the school record.

He got SOOOO close to the big leagues in 2006-2007. Just one DL stint by a big leaguer away.

Very sad. Anyone know the cause of death?

Steven White's Mom Brenda White died young as well. At the age of 47 in 2003, just a month or two after the Baylor/LSU Super Regional discussed above.

Brenda was a good friend of mine.
We talked via E-mail regularly.
I made sure she always had a seat in my box.
She always made nice comments of how much she appreciated my humor and candor.
She was just a genuine, nice, little lady.

For those that don't remember Steven White, he was a big contributor to building the foundation for success that Baylor had in the early aughts.
