Brad Lesley Dead At 54

Brad Lesley, who played a few years of Major League Baseball before appearing in a plethora of '90s sports films, died this weekend at 54.


Lesley's ex-wife, Chiho Svimonoff, told celebrity website TMZ he had been suffering from kidney problems and had been living in a nursing home for the past seven months, where he was receiving dialysis.

Svimonoff claims Lesley was rushed to a hospital in Marina Del Rey on Saturday night and finally passed away from kidney failure.

It has to be noted that Lesley played for the Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers from 1982 to 1985 before switching to acting. In the '90s, he made an appearance in "Mr. Baseball," "Space Jam" and, of course, he played that angry pitcher with the goatee in "Little Big League."
