Do we do individual death threads for coaches? Nieto coached for the Mets from 2005 to 2008. 

He died suddenly just recently.

Sad to hear.  

Life can be so fragile.  We have to enjoy and cherish our time while we can, because tomorrow is never guaranteed.  I lost a good friend to a sudden heart attack 2 weeks ago today.  He was 62 and left a wife and two sons, the youngest a sophomore in college.
