When tragedy strikes it is always encouraging to see a community rally. Former White Sox pitcher Daniel Webb was killed on Oct. 14 in an ATV accident that also left his wife and two others hospitalized.
Although Webb was released at the conclusion of the 2016 season and did not play in 2017 he was a respected member of the White Sox clubhouse.
“Daniel left many friends within the Chicago White Sox organization and we are all shocked and stunned by the news of (Saturday night’s) terrible accident,” the White Sox said in a statement.
Former White Sox closer David Robertson responded to Webb’s passing by setting up the Daniel Webb Memorial fund through his charity, High Socks For Hope.

“Daniel Webb, a close friend and former teammate of David Robertson, passed away October 14, 2017 in an accident. Daniel’s tragic passing has left his family with many unplanned expenses and David would like to honor Daniel by setting up a fundraiser for his family.”
All proceeds from the fund will go directly to Webb’s wife, Melissa. Donations are tax-deductible and can be processed by check, credit card or Venmo.
