RIP Pedro Feliciano

Very sad news today - former pitcher Pedro Feliciano has passed away at age 45.  Feliciano was best known for pitching for the Mets during the 00's but he spent 2005 in Japan pitching for the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks in their first season (well, not the Hawks' first season but the first season they were owned by Softbank).  He pitched in 37 games in relief and went 3-2 with a 3.89 ERA.

Feliciano only had a handful of Japanese baseball cards.  He appears in BBM's 1st Version set (#49), their Hawks team set (#H13) and the Hawks "Go" box set (#5).  He had an autographed card available with the Hawks set.  He also appears in Konami's Baseball Heroes White set (#B05W170).  The only one of these cards that I have is the 1st Version one:
