Tombstone for former major leaguer
Danny Clyburn Jr. (April 6, 1974 – February 7, 2012) was an outfielder for the Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Devil Rays. He was traded from Baltimore to Tampa Bay prior to the 1999 season for pitcher Jason Johnson.
Clyburn was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the second round of the 1992 amateur draft. He is the cousin of former Anaheim Angels pitcher Pep Harris.
Clyburn was shot dead in Lancaster, South Carolina on February 7, 2012. His accused killer is Derrick Lamont McIlwain, who confessed to the murder after witnesses say they saw McIlwain and Clyburn arguing shortly before the shooting. On January 10, 2014, McIlwain pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
