Clemente was like 37 or 38 when he died. He had 3,000 hits exactly.

Yeah you're right. I guess it isn't completely analogous but the talent level and popularity seems similar.

Absolutely terrible. Sending nothing but positive vibes to the city of Miami and especially Jose's friends and family.

Jose Fernandez fled to America at 15 on a small boat. Mom fell off into pitch-black waters. He jumped in & saved her

Len Bias never played in the league. Jose was a top pitcher ever since his debut, completely different...

Pelle Lindburgh was 26 and the reigning Vezina Award winner when he died in a car crash in 1986.

The obvious answer to me is Sean Taylor. The guy was well on his way to having HOF career before he was shot and killed at 24 years old.

Jesus Christ, they are showing the live press conference on ESPN and these guys are joking around and laughing, they have no idea they are live.

That entire thing still pisses me off, especially when the media ran with "it was probably related to his being an a-hole" stories. Come to find out he was fighting off an intruder in his home protecting his family.
