We did a segment yesterday(Wed), on some of the bright young arms to keep an eye out for in 2009. I chatted up the Angels Nick Adenhart and how his manager Mike Scocia thought he was special. Just 22 years old, he made his 3rd career start last night against Oakland, then was killed after the game when a minivan ran a red light and crashed into the vehicle taking the lives of all 3 in the car. It's the ultimate tragedy. A young person living a dream that morphs into a nightmare a few hours later. No words exist that could possibly make sense of this to the family, in this case, his mom and dad. Beaming with pride early in the evening as their son realizes the goal of becoming a starting pitcher in the major leagues to planning a funeral. Obviously I have no connection to the Angels or this young guy, but I can't get this sick feeling to go away.
Eventually later we'll get to the show and The Masters, rest of MLB, NBA playoffs and all that good stuff, but for now let's send our best thoughts to those devastated by this miserable event.
