re: Miami Marlins Pitcher Jose Fernadez has died in a boating accident

I'm down here on work and its hard to describe the link the guy had to the community- it was like Brees in New Orleans but much, much deeper (I can't really think of a good parallel- maybe Koufax with the Jewish community in Brooklyn)- this was a guy who basically represented a massive section of Miami, who embodied all that they identify as and now he's just suddenly gone, I mean its just really, really hard to emphasize how far beyond baseball he had bonded with Miami.
