Car wreck this morning. Just pitched six shutout innings versus A's last night.

Awful, only 22 years old.

I actually teared up reading about it on the Angels message board. Man, gonna be a long season.

[Carolina Husker]

That's really an awful story. And I read that a fan was killed at their opening day game?

Yeah. There was another member of the Angels organization killed in the accident, too. Waiting to notify family before they release the name. Not a player, but still.

Damn....so tragic.

[Epistaxis]

And for once it doesn't sound like the athlete was stupidly driving drunk either.

Just an innocent victim of reckless driving. Could happen to any of us.

What a shame.

Sad......poor kid went from one of the highest points to the absolute lowest points in just a few hours. Has to be hard for the family, friends, organization and their fans (sorry Meat).

[Kevin Greene]

Effin sucks. RIP

Jesus, that's sad....

Been an Angels fan since 78...been through a lot of bad in that time (even though Angels have turned things around recently). This is the lowest. Can't imagine the team having to play tonight. He was supposedly very well liked in the clubhouse. Freaking idiot who killed him tried to get away on foot.

I just heard this on the radio. Sad story. Appears the guy they have in custody was presumed drunk.
