Nick Adenhart. Darren O'Days ex teammate.


We take a moment here to mourn the loss of Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart who was killed early this morning by a drunk driver. The kid was only 22 years old. He pitched in only his fourth major league game last night.

Darren O'Day was an ex teammate of Nicks. Darren commented “He had all the talent in the world, but he couldn't figure it out last year. Then he figures it out and six hours later he’s gone.

Darren himself had to go out and pitch today. To read more about what he said check out Amazing stories and Darren O'Day's Comments

From the LA Times
Angels General Manager Tony Reagins said the feeling in the organization went beyond disbelief."We're all in shock," he said. "Nick had such a bright future. He was such a bright kid. We're going to deeply miss him. It's just so difficult to put into words how much he will be missed. He was a great person."

Angels Manager Mike Scioscia added: "For those of us who got to know Nick in the last four years, I can't tell you how proud we are in the growth we have seen."

We send out condolences to his teammates, the Angels organization and his family.
