Was it that long ago? I remember flipping on SportsCenter to watch some highlights the morning after I had watched Nick Adenhart pitch against the Oakland A’s in Anaheim.
And there was that bright red “BREAKING NEWS” icon ESPN uses so often.

The crash was caused by an intoxicated motorist who ran a red light and blindsided the car Adenhart and the three others were in.
