Hearts are heavy around the baseball world today.
Shocking news out of Anaheim where Angels SP Nick Adenhart was killed in a hit-and-run accident, just hours after he threw six scoreless innings against the A's on Wednesday night.
This news, beyond horrible, for both the Angels and the Adenhart family, was first reported by TMZ late this morning.
Police say a person driving a minivan ran a red light, causing the Mitsubishi that Adenhart was in to hit a light pole. Three of the four people in that Mitsubishi died, while the fourth person remains hospitalized.
Adenhart, 22, was a promising 6-foot-4 righty, who was drafted out of a Williamsport, Md., high school in 2004, and was being counted on by the Angels, who were already struggling with injuries to John Lackey and Ervin Santana.
Two years ago this month, the St. Louis Cardinals lost pitcher John Hancock, 29, in a 2007 car crash, when his Ford Explorer crashed into a tow truck.
