Jose Fernandez's death brings back painful memories for Mike Hargrove

The worst moment in Indians franchise history happened during spring training in 1993.

Pitchers Steve Olin and Tim Crews were killed in a nighttime boating accident on Little Lake Nellie, which is about 45 minutes west of Orlando, Florida, when Crews’ bass boat slammed into a dock that extended far out into the water. Olin died instantly. Crews died at the hospital the next morning. Bob Ojeda, the other passenger in the boat, suffered a severe scalp laceration when his head hit the dock and lost a lot of blood, but was eventually OK after a stay in the hospital.
