Nobody else has said anything about this yet, but didn't see this coming. Reminds me a little bit of Jerimie Gonzalez & his car accident. Pretty sad after pitching 6 shut out innnings just hours before the incident.
 
it really is a tragedy. He was ONLY 22! had a whole life time ahead :(

prayers and thoughts go out to his family, friends, and teammates.
 
thanks tigs. I was just doing that.....then it told me it had already been done ;)

He really had special stuff out on the field - but here's to hoping the Angels go out and trounce who ever they play next in honor of him (unless it is the Yankees :p)
