I don't know him. Didn't know the name until about 11 am this morning. Oh, about 10 am there was an article on MSN about how the kid pitching for the Angels last night made them forget about their other injuries, but I skimmed the article. 2 hours later, we hear that kid is dead. Unbelievable. A drunk driver blows a stop light and 3 lives are lost. Nothing that doesn't happen every week across America, but for a kid who just pitched 6 scoreless innings in his 4th big league game it makes news. It makes us sit up and take notice. It is also unbelievable. He lived his dream the last night of his life. His last inning he through ALL strikes.
I've been reading all the comments and someone said "There is baseball in heaven and God needed another pitcher". It makes me cry. It is far sadder than Josh Hancock or Darryl Kile and on par with the football players that went missing at sea. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
