Lou Gehrig omitted because he was no longer an active player, or because they only wanted recent sports figures?

There were 3 Baltimore Orioles players killed in a boating accident (alcohol involved) some years ago, but I don't think any of them were individually at the celebrity level of these "top 20."

I think you might have meant 3 Cleveland Indians pitchers during spring training - 2 died, 1 injured...

t’s just as it was March 22, 1993, when a relaxing day of laughter, friendship and family turned to horror as Cleveland Indians pitchers Crews, 31, and Steve Olin, 27, were killed in a boating accident. A third pitcher, Bob Ojeda, barely survived.
