caulfield12 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 There was the relief pitcher about five years ago, Daryl Kile in the hotel room...now Taveras. Trying to think of some other examples. Darrell Porter as well, although he was connected to a number of teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconOnAStick Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Well there was Nick Adenhart a few years ago. It just sucks. These kids have the world in front of them and it's all gone for them and their families in an instant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Shocked. Just had that pinch hit HR in the seventh inning of Game 2 that helped lift St. Louis to its only victory of the NLCS . RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Such a crazy thing. I heard it on the radio while listening to the Hawks game and I just couldn't even react. As someone who enjoys following prospects, it's really upsetting to see such a promising young kid go like this. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 A spokeswoman for the Dominican Republic's Attorney General's Office, Tessie Sanchez, said Oscar Taveras was "legally intoxicated when he crashed." Sanchez revealed that a toxicology report showed Taveras' blood-alcohol level was five times the legal limit. Taveras and his girlfriend, 18-year-old Edilia Arvelo, were killed in a car crash on October 26 in his native Dominican Republic. Taveras was 22 years old.

witesoxfan Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 For those who haven't read or don't want to read, his BAC was .287, while the legal limit in the Dominican Republic is .05. If he were drinking beer, he probably had something like 20-22 beers in a 4-5 hour stretch, and then thought it would be a good idea to drive.
