Back to the Miami Marlins Newsfeed

The star pitcher gone far too soon still had an enormous impact on the baseball community (myself included).

Two years ago, a young man by the name of José Fernández, who you all know, died off the coast of Miami in what remains the most tragic event in Marlins history. Although the anniversary is a very somber day for all, I feel it is important that we focus on the life that José lived and all of the lives that he impacted around him.

I am one of so many fans who were drawn to José by his infectious personality and genuine love for the game. When José died, I was shocked.
