KILLEBREW, Patrick, “Pat,” age 68, passed away peacefully at home, June 20, 2017, after watching the Washington Nationals relief pitchers blow yet another lead.

So began Mr. Killebrew’s obituary listed this week in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Sometimes we alert one another to obituaries because we know the people involved… other times because they’re clever. (Sometimes because they’re just really well written.)

His obit ends with a plea to, in lieu of flowers, send donations to the Nationals Bullpen Fund.

You see yesterday’s game?

Guess they’re still in the raising money phase.
