Oscar Taveres, Steve Olin and Tim Crew, Nick Adenhart, Thurmond Munsen, Roberto Clemente, Ken Hobbs, and others. RIP Jose Fernandez.
Makes you wish “If you build it, they will come” was real, not a fantasy.
You’re right - he ranks very high among the greatest ballplayers to leave here too early.
Many prayers for him and his family
Cory Lidle, slamming a small plane into a building - this was in years after 9/11 too, I believe,
Darryl Kile (Cards), Josh Hancock (Cards), Jose Olivia (Cards), and Lyman Bostock (Angels) are a few more I can remember who died while still active players. Bostock was murdered.
Fernandez was an all star this year. Huge loss.
Nick Adenhert was so sad happened about a mile from my house we went down there horrible wreck for a year or more the makeshift memorial stayed up
