RIP Nick Adenhart

What a sad story this mornig. Nick Adenhart was killed during a car crash this morning after only the day before pitching against the A's. Keep his family in your prayers.

Wow this sucks

Just heard about this on espn2 few minutes ago. Kid was only 22, and even pitched well last night(only 4 career start). Heard was a hit and run too, how sad.

ESPN just posted on their site: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4055343

That's a sad story

No one really knows him because this is only his second year playing and last year he was sub par. He really turned it around this season.

Had TJ surgery when he was 17 though so he had already been through a lot in a short time

Wow this sucks

This is especially sad due to the fact that it's right near the Spring holidays (passover, easter)

Going to be very somber for his family. :(

I went to a rival high school of this kid (about 8 min away). Hewas a year older but the guys in my accounting class playedagainst himand would never stop talking about his 95 mph fastball. Everybody knew this kid was gonna make it .He was the pride of Washington County Maryland. RIP Nick

As an Angels fan, this is really hard to believe. Doomtime

My heart goes out to his family and friends.

Terrible news. Kid was so young and had a bright career ahead of him. Just terrible.

The drunk kid needs to be locked up forever. Moron. I hope he gets what's coming to him soon.

This is crazy. I saw the game last night and this morning right on my homepage there it was. It sucks, poor kid.

this is unreal. I can't believe this happened at this time.

My heart goes out to his family.

I was just watching him last night... :(rockguy92

My God guys I still can't believe this. :( I've been watching MLB network tonight and to hear them talking about this is just so hard to believe. As a baseball player myself, I know this is very hard for his teammates because as a part of a baseball team, for the most part you're pretty close to all your teammates. For this to happen so suddenly is just so unreal and probably very difficult for his teammates coaches, and of course his family and friends.

I'm still sad and even got a bit teared up several times today when I thought about this.

Stricter punishment for DUIs but i don't think life in prison is fine. X360PS3AMD05

Stricter punishment for DUIs but i don't think life in prison is fine. For this guy though the electric chair sounds fine :lol:X360PS3AMD05

Yeah, very sad news and considering I had just figured out who he was the night before when he pitched against the A's was crazy.

I think the Adenhart stuff is going overboard now

It's a horrible story and people who don't know what it's like have no idea how awful it is.

They have grief councilors and a place to lay flowers and they'll keep his locker together in Angels stadium plus on the road. They have a special patch to remember him all season and all that is fine.

They also have him on the wall in the outfield?

OK, that's a spot usually reserved for great players.

Also some people are saying "Goodbye to one of the greatest Angels of all"

No, not close, not even remotely near what is true there.

Adenhart was a player that did not do well in the league. It was this season that he finally felt that he got it all. It's a very sad story but people are blowing it out of proportion in a gigantic way.

It's one thing to honor him but it's a completely different thing to say he will always be remembered by the Angels franchise and so forth and so on.

Maybe you are the one going overboard and making no sense whatsoever. Its that hard to believe that the Angels franchise will remember Nick 50 years from now (if they last that long)?

If they last that long?

There's teams playing in the MLB that are over 100 years old
