This was just pointed out by TradingCardDB on twitter. Please check the blurb on the back. |
It has been reported that Marlins superstar pitcher Jose Fernandez was killed in a boating accident this morning. THIS MORNING! While the bit of information has only appeared on a trade rumors website, nothing has come up yet on MLB.com or the Marlins website.
Regardless of whatever facts may come out about what happened this morning, MLB as a whole has lost another young star in his prime.
My condolences go out to the Fernandez family, the Marlins organization, Major League Baseball, and the fans. Not just Marlins fans, but all baseball fans.
UPDATE: WSVN, the ABC affiliate in Miami, is reporting that Fernandez was one of three people killed in a boat crash off Miami beach.
The Marlins have officially released this statement:
The Miami Marlins organization is devastated by the tragic loss of José Fernandez. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this very difficult time. Today's game against the Atlanta Braves has been cancelled.
So this humble, little blog, will also send prayers and condolences to the families and friends of the other two victims in this tragic accident.

So sad. What a great pitcher and from all accounts a really good guy.
That quote from him is all too true.
