6 ex Philadelphia Phillies baseball players have died from brain cancer over a 2 decade period with the commonality being their old stadium and the radar guns they used to measure pitch speed. That astroturf also mentioned as a possible cause.

I don't know although they all passed around the same age from the same era. It could be other things in common from that era, building or team. I think more players who played would have an issue although the home team is at the stadium more often. I will say a lot of teams played in new stadiums built around 1970ish and they were concrete monsters ie could it be a concrete ingredient? Also many stadiums are built in industrial areas since not many want them in their back yard.
