Baseball version of "The Conqueror"
The Conqueror was a kitschy John Wayne movie shot, apparently, too near a nuclear testing site. 90+ of the 220 people involved with the shooting died of cancer.
The 1980 World Series between the KC Royals and the Phillies appears to have a similar weirdness: 5 of the players involved died not just "of cancer", but of brain cancers: Tug McGraw, Ken Brett, Dan Quisenberry, Johnny Oates, and John Vukovich.
