Mel Didier passes away

If you followed the Expos in their heyday, you know Mel's work in scouting and player development. At the time of his death, he was a consultant to the Jays.

Updated the title to reflect that tweet. Resisted the temptation to be flippant because Mel Didier is a legend.

RIP. What a great baseball mind. Hopefully we do something to honor him next season.
