I think you might have meant 3 Cleveland Indians pitchers during spring training - 2 died, 1 injured...

t’s just as it was March 22, 1993, when a relaxing day of laughter, friendship and family turned to horror as Cleveland Indians pitchers Crews, 31, and Steve Olin, 27, were killed in a boating accident. A third pitcher, Bob Ojeda, barely survived.

That’s the incident I was thinking of—don’t know why I remembered it as involving members of the Orioles club rather than the Indians. The player steering the boat, Tim Crews, was legally drunk when the boat hit the pier. Only two of them were killed—the third player was seriously injured.

Ojeda sustained a very serious injury to his pitching hand, if i recall correctly.
