Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel said on Wednesday a string of brain cancer deaths of former Philadelphia Phillies players - including David West, Darren Daulton, and Tug McGraw - must be investigated.
"It's a cluster, and it needs to be examined. The amount of incidents of deadly brain cancer are about three out of 100,000. This is three or four times that or more," Siegel told "West, who pitched for the Phillies from 1993-96, is the sixth former Phillies player to die of brain cancer. Other deaths included Ken Brett in 2003, Tug McGraw and Johnny Oates in 2004, John Vukovich in 2007, and Darren Daulton in 2017.
"The military has done research on microwaves that are given at very high frequency and a lot of exposure. You get hundreds of incidences of the radar gun being used during a game. I’m not saying that’s what it is … but they have got to look more at the radar gun," he said, adding that chemicals used in old Astroturf should also be investigated.
