Former MLB pitcher Anthony Varvaro died Sunday morning in a car crash at the age of 37, per ESPN.
Varvaro, who retired in 2016 to become a police officer in the New York City area, reportedly was on his way to work at the Sept. 11 memorial ceremony in Manhattan. He had served as an officer for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
A native of Staten Island, Varvaro attended St. John's and made his MLB debut in 2010. He spent six years in the majors with the Seattle Mariners, Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox.
