What a tragedy. I feel your pain, Frozen. I had a similar situation quite a while back. Same sort of numbers for the pitcher, Pitcher of the Year (my "Rick Vaughn Award") first year in the majors, number one with a bullet. Then...first game of his second season, first batter he faced...CEI. Apparently his neck gave out. I wept bitter tears of remorse.
