December 8, 200619 yr Not sure if this is truly Sox related, but some here might be interested to know. CNN headline: Authorities say former San Francisco Giants shortstop Jose Uribe was killed early today in a car crash in his native Dominican Republic, The Associated Press reports.
December 8, 200619 yr QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 8, 2006 -> 10:54 AM) I thought that said JUAN for a second. Same here.
December 8, 200619 yr QUOTE(The Critic @ Dec 8, 2006 -> 11:33 AM) Reading is a skill, people..... Seriously, I saw Jose right away and knew who it was. C'mon And besides, if Uribe died, it would be in a shootout anyways.

December 8, 200619 yr For a split second I thought about posting this story and titling it "Uribe dead in car crash". Then I realized I enjoy my time here too much to lose it. SFF Edited December 8, 200619 yr by SpringfieldFan

December 8, 200619 yr It hasn't happened recently around here, but for a good time when Uribe replaced Valentin you'd find someone calling Juan "Jose Uribe." Only reason I knew who he was before this accident. I'm sure there are a lot of people browsing the internet today who believe our Uribe was the one killed.
December 8, 200619 yr ESPN News is stating that Jose Uribe was the father of Chicago White Sox SS Juan Uribe.
December 8, 200619 yr QUOTE(RME JICO @ Dec 8, 2006 -> 02:51 PM) ESPN News is stating that Jose Uribe was the father of Chicago White Sox SS Juan Uribe. Wikipedia claims he's a distant relative. I know that doesn't indicate anything conclusive, but I'd have to imagine most of the articles summarizing his death would have mentioned a relation if it were father/son.

December 9, 200619 yr QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Dec 8, 2006 -> 03:11 PM) baseball reference says they have no relation at all We should just ask Juan We would, but no one understands his language so we would never know the answer.
December 9, 200619 yr I read that Jose was Juan's cousin. Asking Juan (with an interpreter present ) might be the only way to find out for sure. Either way, RIP Jose.
