Astros Prospects: Right-Hander Jose Rosario Killed in Motorcycle Crash

After a positive event like Houston Astros’ Fan Fest this weekend, Astros nation was rocked on Monday when one of the promising young Astros prospects was killed in a motorcycle accident in his home country of the Dominican Republic. The accident occurred last night as Jose Rosario was riding his motorcycle, how it happens shouldn’t matter. But it brings up the Jeff Kent scenario where he said he injured his hand in a car wash, but people suspected it was from a motorcycle accident. Baseball teams have tried to discourage players from riding motorcycles, but you can’t monitor them all the time.
