When I first read this, the first thing I thought about was when Oscar Taveras (Cardinals outfielder) passed a couple of years ago. Being so close to these guys in age is what makes this especially tragic. They got to live a life that a lot of boys in their home countries (Taveras from the Dominican Republic, Fernandez from Cuba) couldn't even dream of. They were the essence of the American dream and the importance of sports. I'm absolutely gutted. It's been hard to think about this all day.
