Oh man. Unbelievable. I just watched him throw the best game of his life last night. I can't friggin' believe it. Another person killed in the car was someone associated with the Angels but haven't heard if it is a player. Just horrible.

Listening to the Angels station. Doesn't appear that any other Angels personnel were in the car.

Just a lot of tragic car crashes of late. Hit and Runs. The 18 and 16 year old kids killed in South OC when they hit the tree. Real bummer.

Re: Sad Story:Angels pitcher killed in crash
I was checking out Nick's stats at the Baseball Cube, and out of curiosity clicked on a link to associated eBay auctions. A numbered Just Minors Stars 2007 Nick Adenhart Black Auto card that ends today had zero bids an hour and a half ago, and is now up to $39. I guess that kind of thing is inevitable, whether it's just people wanting to own a memento of a fallen player, or spectulators - who's to say?

Man. Last Saturday (4-4-09) was my daughter's Little League day at the Big A. It was the last ST game against the Padres. When we walked the field, only one player was out practicing, Nick Adenhart. Here's his workout:

Re: Sad Story:Angels pitcher killed in crash
My God....
How many more worthless tragedies are we going to read about because of these pathetic lost souls who drink their responsibilities away, then get behind a two-ton steamroller and end innocent lives???
GEEZUZ.........put this piece of dung behind bars for the rest of his miserable life. He has a prior, and was WARNED if he ever had anything to do with the loss of life related to alcohol, it could mean murder charges.
Bless the souls of the ones who perished in this senseless act of ignorance and stupidity. My deepest sympathy to Nick's parents.....and my prayers for the recovery on the one still fighting to live...
Nick is still with the Angels....just a different group now.

Re: Sad Story:Angels pitcher killed in crash
Nick was well loved in my community. I know a few guys who played baseball with him in high school. I work with his uncle(who gave me an Adenhart autographed card last year) and he didn't make it to work today. Last thing his uncle said before he left last night was, "going to watch Nick pitch tonight." He was real proud of Nick. I never met Nick but sat at a table right beside of him at a Buffalo Wild Wings during this past off-season. It's terrible to see someone with so much talent, pass away at such a young age. I'm hoping this guy will be behind bars for a very long time!
