Biography

The day after he was cut by the Dodgers because of discipline problems, Koenecke, aboard a charter flight, tried to get to the plane's controls. A lengthy mid-air fight ensued, and the pilot hit Koenecke with a fire extinguisher and killed him. Koenecke, a 31-year-old outfielder, batted .283 during the season.
