SLAYER Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Sad. Driver ran off on foot after the accident and was later caught. was driving with a suspended license from a previous DUI charge. allengedly blood level way over the limit. Hope they put this guy away for 50-60 yrs. 3 vehicle manslaughter charges 20yrs each sounds about right, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 So sad. He grew up in Western Maryland (Hagerstown area) and at a point during his senior year in high school, was considered one of the top young pitchers in America. Many had him pegged as a top pick in that years pro draft (some saying as high as #1!). In one of his final outings as a high school senior, he snapped his arm/elbow and many wrote him off as a pitcher. He underwent Tommy John surgery and the Angels took a flyer on him in a late round. Needless to say, he had rehabed his way back and had a promising future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
