Very sad, so young..as an Angels fan I feel your pain, when we lost Nick Adenhart to that tragic car crash it felt like the team was never the same again..not sure what he was doing out at 3am in a boat you just never know when life will end
And Oscar Taveras, teh young outfielder for the Cardinals, who died ina car accident during teh 2014 playoffs. The CArdinals’ pitcher tonight is wearing a cap with “OT 18” on one side and “JF 16” on the other.
Their SS, Aledmys Diaz (whom I think is going to be VERY good), was a neighbor of Fernandez’s growing up. He lived three houses away and they played together from Little League until Jose left for America.
It’s very sad.
And he was one of the best pitchers in the game and would hve been a free agent after the 2018 season. His son will never know him, except as a legend.
MLB is poorer without Fernandez, Taveras, and Adenhart. Sad indeed.
