File this story under “What was he thinking?”
The Medical Examiner determined that Cardinals’ pitcher Josh Hancock was drunk with an alcohol level twice Missouri’s legal limit, according to the Associated Press. Cell phone records also showed that he was talking on his cell phone at the time of the collision. Authorities also say Hancock was driving 68 mph in a 55 mph zone and was not wearing a seat belt. Marijuana was found in the SUV he was driving, but it is still unknown if any was in his bloodstream and toxicology results will not be known for several days. Witnesses told police that Hancock was at a local restaurant from about 8:30 p.m. until midnight last Saturday. A news report earlier this week mentioned that the hostess offered to call a cab for him, but he declined. With so many errors in judgment, it’s no wonder Hancock didn’t survive. One wonders if he had a secret death wish.
