Officials said Mercado was one of the players who helped the coach dismantle the dugout when it collapsed on Monday. Maisel said he was shot in the face and taken to hospital, where he died late Tuesday night.

No criminal charges are expected in this matter.

“The name of the team is Harrisburg Internationals, but I want you to change it to Angels — Harrisburg International Angels,” Diaz sobbed lazily to NBC News.

“I don’t remember anything now. Could you call me another time? I would like to talk to you, my head is still a bit cloudy.”
