Like everyone else in the baseball family, I awoke this morning to the tragic news that Miami Marlins phenom Jose Fernandez is dead at the age of 24 after a boating accident. Words cannot begin to fully describe the impact his death has already had on millions of people but I hope you will forgive a few brief thoughts as I speak directly from the heart.
At first, it seemed in bad taste to say anything at all, I never met Jose.
