Early this morning, Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez and two other passengers perished in a tragic boating crash off of Miami Beach.
There’s really only one way to say that, so if that reads a little close to other official releases, I trust I’ll be permitted the breach. Any loss of life is tragic, so on the grand scale, Fernandez himself is just one-third of a story that many might not have read had his name not been affixed to the lead. This was not the first time lives were lost in a crash off of Government Cut, and it won’t be the last.
