A Tragedy........in Anaheim.......

Senseless..........Terrible.....Unfathomable ........Unexpected....

Why did this have to happen?

Nick Adenhart was 22 years old. He signed with the Anaheim Angels fresh out of high school at the age of 18. He was a pitcher..........with a 98 miles per hour fast ball.

At 22.......his best years in life appeared to be ahead of him.......He had just pitched 6 scoreless innings in his major league debut.......

And........we're talking about him.....in the past tense.......

Why?

Nick Adenhart .......along with two friends........was killed early Thursday morning..........broadsided in the car he was riding in........by an alleged drunk driver........a hit and run.......

Anyone who has ever lost a loved one........at such a young age.......feels the pain this family is going through.

Why?

Why now???????

Why him?????

From all reports.......he was a good kid......Just loved to play....."the game of baseball".

And .......just like that.....some drunk comes along..........and snuffs his life........away.

Of course, the drunk........will plead innocent...of the charges. His lawyers (paid to defend him) will make arguments on his behalf....

But ..........the "drunk" should just come clean.......If he had not taken that mini-van .....on the road.....had not had .......all of those drinks.....

We would not be talking about Mr. Adenhart...........in the past tense.

This sucks.......

I'm pissed............

Our thoughts and prayers.......go out to the Adenhart family.

A tragedy..........
