One of your best prospects that you are relying on pitches the best game of his short career and is killed in a car accident later that night. (Adenhart-R.I.P) Of course, this from a franchise that at one point had it best pitcher literally have his pitching arm amputated (Dave Dravecky). <sigh>
OK, so now P'burg's pitching coach, Mark Fidrych, dies in an accident. I was kinda kidding about the curse, but now I am not so sure. If anything happens to Sparky Anderson, I'm going to bed for a week or so. I had a chance to meet Fidrych at Tiger Stadium one time, and he as nice and accomodating in person as he seemed to be on TV. Truly a sad day for every Tiger fan........
