On August 16, 1920, Ray Chapman of the Cleveland Indians was hit in the head by Carl Mays of the Yankees. Players did not wear helmets back then. Chapman died a few hours later in a hospital.

1996 Cincinnati Reds Opening Day- Umpire John McSherry
They did not know whether to proceed with Opening Day or to postpone it. They were not sure whether to go on with the game or to grieve. Their sense of duty and their sense of loss were both profound and profoundly conflicted. In their hour of need, they needed a nudge.
Seven pitches into Cincinnati's 1996 baseball season, McSherry collapsed as he walked wobbily from the playing field at Riverfront Stadium. Within an hour, he was pronounced dead.

There's always that pigeon that Randy Johnson hit with a fastball. I will never forget seeing that on SportsCenter! They must have played that 10 times in slow motion.

Aside from several runners per game dying on base, I do not believe so
