Tragic death of Angels pitcher

LA Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart tragically lost his life on Wednesday night, hours after pitching his first game of the season. He was only 22.

It probably shouldn't be this way, but there always seems to be something more tragic about the death of a young sports star or celebrity. Maybe because we (as in the 'general public') spend so much of our time celebrating and revelling in the lives of those people with natural ability and talent?

Despite losing his life at such a young age, I hope the fact that he realised his dream of becoming a Major League pitcher brings some comfort to those who were close to him. In the end all of us are some guy running a red light away from not being around to realise our own dreams....
