I'm sure most people have already heard or read about New York Yankee Cory Lidle dying in a small plane crash on the Upper East Side today in New York. Eerily, a lot of interviews and comments from Lidle by the New York media and others during the season about his flying and as recently as yesterday.
Just a terrible, terrible tragedy and puts New Yorkers on edge about their own security.
Meanwhile, some of the A's are mourning their former teammate as they play game 2 of the ALCS against the Tigers desperately needing a win.
On a side note from an article in the ESPN Lidle story. Manny Acuta, the Mets thrid base coach, lived in the building that Lidle's plane crashed into. Acuta just happens to be one of the leading candidates for the Rangers managerial jobe.
Just a crazy story and such and such an unnecessary tragedy.
