Andy Marte, former Indians infielder, killed in car accident
Marte, who played parts of five seasons with the Indians from 2006 through 2010, was killed in a car accident early Sunday morning in his native Dominican Republic.
Because Marte didn't live up to fans' hopes with the Indians, he is often remembered less than fondly. It's an unfortunate legacy that often comes with the territory of being a highly touted athlete. In April of 2007, an early-season series between the Indians and Angels was moved from Cleveland to Milwaukee because of snow.
