Bruce Markusen of MLB.com lists the names of the many baseball figures who passed away in 2006: From 23-year old Tampa Bay farmhand Charlie Wagner to 111-year old Negro League player Si Simmons.
Si Simmons would have had to deposit about $2500 a month every month from the time that he was 5 years old in order to have enough money to pay Barry Zito's contract in monthly installments, supposing a constant 5% interest rate from 1900 until 2013.
Yellow alert - Player needs triple for cycle
Orange alert - Player needs double for cycle
Red alert - Player need single for cycle
If a player needs a home run for the cycle, the level of the alert varies depending upon the determination of the Cycle Detection Warning System, which is headquartered in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.
