Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Former major league pitcher Frank Castillo, who spent the majority of his 13-year career with the Chicago Cubs, drowned on Sunday. He was 44. A dive team from the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office recovered Castillos body Monday afternoon. The sheriffs office said it received a 911 call Sunday afternoon in reference to a drowning at Bartlett Lake. Castillo and one of his friends were on a pontoon boat when the former major leaguer got into the water to go swimming. According to the 911 call, family and friends stated Castillo wasnt a good swimmer. A short time later, Castillo didnt resurface. An underwater search was performed by the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office Dive team, but after about two hours into the search, due to poor lighting, the team temporarily suspended the search until Monday morning. Castillo compiled an 82-104 record with a 4.56 ERA in 297 games (268 starts) with the Cubs, Rockies, Tigers, Blue Jays, Red Sox and Marlins. He was drafted in the sixth round by the Cubs in 1987 and played in the majors for them from 1991-97 before being traded to Colorado. He was released by the Marlins after appearing in one game in 2005, his final big league season.

WASHINGTON -- After decades of failed attempts to drum up enough interest or support for an on-campus basketball practice facility, Georgetown Hall of Fame coach John Thompson was still around to see what he says he has been waiting for since at least 1978.A ribbon-cutting and dedication ceremony was held Thursday outside the John R. Thompson Jr. Intercollegiate Athletic Center. It was attended by many former players including Hall of Famers Alonzo Mourning and Allen Iverson. The current team coached by Thompsons son -- John Thompson III -- as well as school President Jack J. DeGioia and former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue -- who played for Georgetown in the `60s -- were also in attendance.Thompson, who coached the Hoyas from 1972-99, amassing 596 victories with three Final Fours appearances that included the 1984 national championship, addressed the crowd.When they started talking about putting up a building I started laughing, he recalled. I said I wonnt be alive when they put a building up.ddddddddddddFinished in just over two years, the 144,000 square-foot, five-level building, which cost $61 million, provides Georgetown mens and womens basketball teams with a state of the art facility to compete in the ever-changing landscape of college athletics. Both teams will have practice courts, locker rooms, meeting rooms, lounge areas and coaches offices as they move out of adjacent McDonough Gymnasium, which was built in 1951.While basketball occupies roughly 50 percent of the center the other half includes weight rooms, training rooms and an academic center for all student-athletes.Its still difficult for Thompson to believe the building is indeed there.Its very hard to express what you really feel, he said. Ive sat out there and just looked at it and said, `Can you believe this? ' ' ' |
