Title: Tragedy in Miami Post by: dolphins4life on September 25, 2016, 04:50:59 pm Jose Fernandez gone at 24 due to a tragic boating accident.
Well-wishes for the Miami community and all affected by this horrible tragedy. Title: Re: Tragedy in Miami Post by: Spider-Dan on September 25, 2016, 05:30:19 pm What a shame.
I'm not a Marlins fan (or much of a baseball fan in general), and not being in the same division as the Giants, MIA isn't covered very much out here in NorCal. That said, he was one of the only players I knew of on the MIA roster, and he was definitely a player to watch for. He seemed to actually enjoy playing baseball, which seems like it's practically outlawed by Brian McCann and the rest of the "unwritten rules" club.

He was going to be the latest in a line of pitchers to defect from Cuba and make their mark in baseball. A young life cut short due to a tragic accident. My prayers are with his family and teammates.

Title: Re: Tragedy in Miami Post by: Dolphster on September 30, 2016, 10:17:24 am I used to be a huge Marlins fan, but getting married and moving away from South Florida have made my life busier and I just don't have the time to follow them like I used to. But I was still really saddened to hear the news. One of the things that getting older (52) has done is to make me much more aware of just how precious life is and how sad death is, especially when it is someone so young. I ain't gonna lie, I shed a couple tears from the story.
