In the early morning hours of January 13, 1903, Detroit Tigers pitcher George Barclay Win Mercer was found dead in his San Francisco hotel room. Ruled a suicide by local police, there are still many unanswered questions concerning this suspicious death. Gone at twenty-eight, was it gambling debts, women, or depression that caused him to take his life? Or, was there something more sinister that contributed to his mysterious demise?
