Gaines Adams died of myocarditis


Aug 11, 2020, 6:30 PM

Been hearing about myocarditis all day and checked on a hunch. It is scary, but you can’t live your life in fear.

I say educate the players on the risks and let them decide whether to participate, but PLAY THE GAMES.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that was the cause of his death.

Wikipedia lists his death as caused by Cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart). I don’t think that’s the same ailment. Great player who left us way too young.

This is usually due to untreated high blood pressure

That still breaks my heart. Great player gone much too young

Hank Gathers and Reggie Lewis also come to mind

But I’m with you...Gaines’ death hit me really hard. I was a young man then myself, and he was about half my age.

How do you keep Gamecocks out of your yard?
• Put up goal posts
