Jesus.

No words for this. Really tragic

 

[bksballer89]

I just hope speeding/alcohol was not the reason

He had a bright future ahead of him. Sad to see someone so young pass away. Prayers going out to his family.

I was there for NLCS Game 2 two weeks ago. I never would have guessed it would be his signature moment. It's very tragic...RIP.

Shocking, horrible news.

Very little news about it yet, but there has, apparently, been a lot of rain there today.

RIP....too young.

 

[WhiteMamba]

So sad. Only 22

It's tragic

 

[navamind]

Wow. RIP.

 

[ColinCoby]

Very sad. Way too young.

 

[Red_Chaos]

RIP kiddo

 

[Bmurph]

Just awful news, RIP. Prayers for Oscar's family and the Cards org

So very sad....my heart just breaks thinking about how excited I was to see him starting in right next season. Baseball #2 prospect, just epitomizes how unfair life truly is. Daryl Kile passing was horrible...this is just as bad if not worse. RIP Oscar, prayers to his friends and family. They will most certainly be in my prayers tonight. Absolutely heart wrenching....

Just terrible. I don't even know the guy, yet I feel sick about it.

 

[Microwahevo]

Just found out about it. Player from a rival or not, it's so sad. He was an exciting young player.

I had forgotten Josh Hancock was a Cardinal. That's 3 Cardinal deaths in 12 years.

Just terrible. I don't even know the guy, yet I feel sick about it.

That's yet another thing that makes this so very sad. NOBODY, outside of St. Louis, didn't know Taveras. In another 8-9 months, that surely would have changed substantially. Man he had everything....his upside was ridiculous. You take a guy like Daryl Strawberry, who ALSO was given more talent than almost anyone in the game, and he basically pisses his talents away while attempting to snort the worlds surplus of cocaine. Still alive, still on drugs, never amounted to much in the MLB. Here's Taveras, a great kid, doing things the right way, truly wanting to be GREAT. Loses his life in an auto accident at the age of 22. Times like this, life really makes no sense to me whatsoever. What a tragic,tragic loss.
