I wonder if the other person "affiliated with the Angels organization" was a player also
Really sad as they were giving him a lot of praise on Baseball Tonight last night

That's horrible, My prayers go to his family.

On an even sadder note, watch his cards go up and the people who have the nerve to make money off of it. Remember Corey Lidle cards and items?

I have some of his cards. What would you suggest I do with them?

Give them to someone who had a PC of him.

Sell now, it's not heartless, either you sell now or you lose money. I have I think one card of his a BCDP from 08 Blue Ref. If anyone wanted it they can have it, not looking to make money, but also did not spend any money on him ever.

Below is according to The Huffington Post:
<blockquote>
Cops say someone driving a minivan blew through a red light and hit the Mitsubishi that Adenhart was riding in. Three people were killed in the crash, including Nick.

Cops say the person driving the van fled the scene -- but was later caught and charged with felony hit-and-run.

We're told one of the other men killed in the crash was also affiliated with the Angels organization. </blockquote>

Holy ****....

Nicest kid. I have told some of you the story, but when nick came in to Anaheim, i took his family to lunch, to the doctor to check him out before his surgery etc. I spent the entire day with them showing them around the stadium, taking them on the field for pre-game, introducing them to the coaches, and was there when he signed his contract.

He was one of the most down to earth, nice dudes you would want to meet. I have been rooting for him since day one.

I am so sad to hear this....

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.....

damnit

skrip

Trying to keep the blog updated as much as a can before heading out...

The Huffington Post, TMZ and MLB Trade Rumors are reporting that Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart was killed early today in a felony hit and run accident. His death comes just hours after he threw six shutout innings against Oakland in what ultimately ended up as an Angels loss. The story is currently developing.

Adenhart was one of the Angels top pitching prospects for the past couple of seasons. He had struggled a bit in 2008 but was poised for a strong season after his outstanding start yesterday. It’s a tragic story no matter what ends up being the details. Adenhart was just 22 years old.

The Huffington Post is reporting that three people were killed, including another so far unidentified person affiliated with the Angels. The Dugout Report will do its best to keep this story updated for you.

Below is according to The Huffington Post:

Cops say someone driving a minivan blew through a red light and hit the Mitsubishi that Adenhart was riding in. Three people were killed in the crash, including Nick.

Cops say the person driving the van fled the scene — but was later caught and charged with felony hit-and-run.

We’re told one of the other men killed in the crash was also affiliated with the Angels organization.
