Cardinals ace Darryl Kile passed away 10 years ago today on June 22, 2002.

Fresh off seasons of 20 and 16 wins, Kile was still pretty much in his baseball prime at 33 when he died of a heart attack brought on by coronary disease. His body was found in his hotel room after he didn't show up for the Cardinals' game at Wrigley Field, and Cubs catcher Joe Girardi took to the field just before start time to announce the game was cancelled.
