that's the 2nd big time prospect to die in a car crash in the last what 5 years? the Angels pitcher being the other, forget name. Horrible.

Nick Adenhart is who you're thinking of...

news. RIP

The eerie part

illmatic : 10/26/2014 8:37 pm : link

is that he would still be alive if the Cards managed to make it to the WS. Crazy how one little thing can just change your life.

So said..

prayers go out to his family.

Wow

That's horrible. RIP.

It's crazy how things work. Had the Cardinals advanced, he'd have been playing in the World Series and not in the DR. Awful.

Sad

Not the first, sadly won't be the last.

Slightly adult Met fans should remember the name Brian Cole, well.

on this earth. Terrible things happen all the time.

If you've ever driven in the towns of the DR

ajr2456 : 10/26/2014 8:45 pm : link

It's horrendous and unsafe. No stop signs. No traffic lights.

A real shame

Terrible to see someone so young

Steve in South Jersey : 10/26/2014 8:48 pm : link

with their whole life ahead of them die that way. RIP.

Terrible.

Prayers to him and his family and friends. RIP. God bless.

just awful

prayers to his family. I hate reading about young people being written out.

that's awful news

WeatherMan : 10/26/2014 8:57 pm : link

he was a really high ceiling prospect, just brutal to go out like that. Seeing reports that his girlfriend was killed in the crash as well, two families devastated in DR tonight.

horrible news
