    That's a lot of youth deaths, even if some were unnatural.

    Seeing this thread reminded me of that.


    Edited to add: Many people are commenting on this same moment, so let me fully endorse checking out this 10 minute video. It's very well done and quite emotional.

    I didn't remember this until I was on Josh Hancock's wiki page, but Cory Lidle died piloting a plane 4 days after losing his last start ever in the 2006 ALDS.
