Million Dies After Asthma Attack In Mesa
Minor league pitcher Doug Million, Colorado Rockies first pick in the 1994 amateur draft, died early Wednesday in Mesa after an asthma attack. He was 21 and had been with Colorado's Instructional League team. Million earned National High School Player of the Year honors in 1994 after posting a 12-2 record and 1.21 ERA for Sarasota High School.
