Third active Cardinals player to die in the past 12 years (Darryl Kile, Josh Hancock).
Have they mentioned anything on the WS broadcast yet?
Can't imagine why they would do that. Probably getting ultimate confirmation. No need to be "first". Plus they don't want to distract from the game.soxhop411 said:Fox better say something after the commercials

Bright future is an understatement. I had the privledge of watching him down in Jupiter and I've never seen a guy like him. Had top shelf potential and I'm sure he would have made a tremendous impact in 2015. Just sad.DeJesus Built My Hotrod said:Ugh. Awful. The kid had a bright future. Horrible.

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.
