Angels Pitcher Dies in Car Accident

What a tragic story this is. Nick Adenhart, pitcher for the L.A. Angels, was killed by a “suspected” drunk driver last Thursday. He was only 22 years old.

What makes this one especially difficult to take is that the poor kid just dealt with elbow surgery and worked hard to make it into major league baseball. He was killed just a few hours after he ” made his season debut with his father in the stands, throwing six scoreless innings against the Oakland Athletics.”

Two other people were also killed.
