A fact from Steve Bechler appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 April 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that following the death of Major League Baseball pitcher Steve Bechler, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned the use of ephedra?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2014/April. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Steve Bechler.

expand - his death really had an impact that should be noted

His death is mentioned ALL the time in discussions about ephedra being banned, and coaches training athletes to exhaustion etc. etc. It would allow for very interesting tidbits like the fact that his team mate threw away the drug bottle to be included.
