Tragic News


I know this is a Pirate blog, but this resonates with all of baseball.

Angels rookie pitcher and talented prospect Nick Adenhart was killed as a cause of hit and run early Thursday morning. Adenhart and 3 passengers were unexpectedly blindsided by a minivan running a red light and sending Adenharts Mitsubishi into a telephone pool, 2 of his passengers were pronounced dead at the scene. Adenhart was pronounced dead after surgery at UC Irvine Medical Center. A fourth passenger remains in critical condition. Police Lt. Craig Brower reported that the minivan driver fled the crash scene and was apprehended a short time later. The driver was arrested and charged with felony hit-and-run. Adenhart had just started for Anaheim Wednesday night striking out 5 over 6 scoreless innings. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

"I'm in shock right now, He just pitched last night. It doesn't seem like this is happening."
