Baseball is more dangerous than one might think

It's just not safe to be a professional baseball player lately.

From ESPN:

The body of a Tampa Bay Devil Rays minor league pitcher missing after his canoe capsized over the weekend was found Thursday.

Erik Walker was last seen Saturday with a female companion, who made it safely ashore after their canoe tipped in a swift stretch of rapids filled with underwater logs, boulders and ledges on the New River.

Is it only the AL East, or is it a more widespread issue?
