Former MLB outfielder Gerald Williams passed away at age 55 after losing a battle with cancer. He was drafted by the Yankees in the 14th round of the 1987 MLB June Amateur Draft, playing seven years in pinstripes. Williams played from 1992-2005, winning two World Series Championships, one with the Yankees (although traded to the Brewers midseason) and one with the Florida Marlins in 2003, defeating his former team. After his death, the Yankees released a statement, and Bernie Williams and Mariano Rivera mourned his passing.
