This player caught my attention because he died in Pattaya, Thailand. We don't find minor league players meeting the end of their lives halfway around the world very often. He died recently on May 31, 2020.
Frank Layana was an outfielder in the Chicago White Sox system during the 1950's. His best year was in 1954 when he hit .357 in 85 games for the Class D Madisonville Miners. He is shown here with the Wisconsin Rapids White Sox in a photo from the Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune of June 29, 1953.
Frank was apparently the father of Tim Layana, the major league pitcher who died tragically in a car accident at age 35. Tim had a brother named Michael, who also died unexpectedly at an early age, 47. In Michael's obit, it said that his father was Frank. The obit also discussed how his family was associated with sports, and said that Michael's uncle was former major leaguer Jim McAnany.
