Rookie Angels Pitcher Dies in Car Accident

Early Thursday morning, rookie pitcher Nick Adenhart died in a car accident (story) just hours after pitching six shutout innings for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Adenhart, 22, was just starting his first full season in the majors, having pitched just 12 innings in three games last year. Adenhart was among three people who died in the accident after their car was struck by a minivan in Fullerton, CA, just miles away from the stadium in Anaheim. The man in the minivan fled on foot and was later picked up by police on suspicion of hit-and-run. The fourth person in the vehicle with Adenhart was listed in critical condition at UC Irvine Medical Center. This was a tragic event for the entire Angels ballclub and he will be dearly missed. It's easy to think that one day will always follow another day, but as we've seen, we are never guaranteed tomorrow. Live every day like it could be your last and never take things for granted.

It's opening day of the MLB! I know my fiance is excited about its return once again. He bought the online subscription access to MLB.TV that lets him watch any game that's streaming across the Web so that he won't miss any game he's free to watch.

As I write this, the NCAA Championship is at halftime. Does opening day overshadow this event that has been on the forefront of avid sports fans' minds all basketball season? Can they coexist? Can you get lost in it all? Tell me what's on your mind...
