The Cultural Encyclopedia of Baseball (1997) by Jonathan Fraser Light has an entire section dedicated to Baseball Related Deaths (pg 199); here are some entries from that great book:

"He's dead at the present time." - Casey Stengel (on the status of a colleague)

"Most people my age are dead � you could look it up." - Casey Stengel

"George (Brett) is getting to be such a monster that I'd hate to die in a car wreck with the guy. You'd be listed as: Others Killed." - Clint Hurdle (1981)
