Can't believe his career is over like this, so soon after his debut.
Woke up to this news. Put a damper on my day. He posted that he was expecting a newborn just 5 days ago. RIP and condolences to the Fernandez family With Oscar Taveras this makes 2 budding stars that were taken way too early
"A boating accident? This was no boating accident!" I don't care who you are, 24 is way too young to die. The newborn just makes it even more tragic.
Shit, I knew he looked familiar, it's the same guy who did this. [img]http://i.imgur.com/dLuOE7T.gif[/img] That's a real shame. Seemed like a fun guy.
He really was. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj2kzi8FROA[/media]
