Oscar Tavares was the Cardinal player killed in an auto accident, just days after the 2014 season ended for St. Louis. Like Fernandez, he was expected to be a star for years to come.

Tavares was driving drunk and speeding. The crash killed him and his girlfriend.

Too early to know if alcohol was involved here, but in any case, life is fragile under the best of circumstances. But, we don't often consider the risks of things we do.

Thoughts and prayers for the Fernandez family. He was every thing they say he was and more. A huge loss for the Marlins and Miami.

thank you. OT. I remember the next season the team wore his initials on their uniforms in memory.
