OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

According to the Sun-Times, This Is Why Prospects Never Pan Out
« on: October 26, 2014, 08:05:58 PM »
Cardinals rookie Oscar Taveras, 22, dead in a car accident at home in the Dominican. Holy shit.

(Edited to acknowledge other thread FACEing.)

Looks like he died the Cardinal Way.

QuoteTessie Sanchez, a spokeswoman for the Dominican attorney general's office, told The Associated Press that toxicology reports showed Taveras had a blood-alcohol level of .287 — more than five times the legal limit of .05 when he lost control of his car Oct. 26 on a highway in the tourist region of Puerto Plata.

She says the 22-year-old Taveras was "legally intoxicated when he crashed."

Rather impressive to have an OBP (.287)  exceed one's career OBP (.279), even if the latter was paltry.

Reminds me of the Onion headline from "Our Dumb Century":

Mickey Mantle Blood-Alcohol Level Nearing .400
