An hour or so after posting the picture of cherry blossoms at the ballpark, I heard the news about Angels' rookie pitcher Nick Adenhart. He and two friends were killed early yesterday morning when the car they were driving in was broadsided by a drunk driver running a red light. A fourth occupant of the vehicle is in critical condition. It's a sad, tragic story. The night before Adenhart had pitched six scoreless innings against the A's. He was only 22. Thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of all in the accident.
This is not a good time for the Angels. A fan was killed on Opening Day during a fight in the stands.
