The worst moment in Indians franchise history happened during spring training in 1993.
Pitchers Steve Olin and Tim Crews were killed in a nighttime boating accident on Little Lake Nellie, which is about 45 minutes west of Orlando, Florida, when Crews’ bass boat slammed into a dock that extended far out into the water. Olin died instantly. Crews died at the hospital the next morning. Bob Ojeda, the other passenger in the boat, suffered a severe scalp laceration when his head hit the dock and lost a lot of blood, but was eventually OK after a stay in the hospital.
