Marlins pitched killed in boat accident.
Incredible talent; one of the best young pitchers I've seen in a long time. And while I'm not a Marlins fan, I always liked Fernandez because he always seemed to be having fun; seemed to actually like playing baseball, as opposed to the sour-faced unwritten-rulesmongers who predominate.
RIP.

Agreed. He seemed like a kid who was really having a good time playing the game.

Sickening. And a boat hitting a jetty is not so nice way to go.

Re: RIP Jose Fernandez
Damn, such a great talent and amazing story about how he got here. He was maybe the most exciting pitcher to watch - none of the unwritten rule tough guy bullshit, just a real joy at playing his sport at the highest level.
