Angels' Adenhart killed in accident
Rookie right-hander dies in three-car hit-and-run crash
In a conference room on the third floor of the park, Adenhart's No. 34 uniform was draped over a table atop the dais. On its left sleeve, a "Preston" patch commemorating the recent passing of Angels exec Preston Gomez.
There will soon be another patch on those uniforms, in memory of Adenhart, the victim of a tragic hit-and-run accident in Fullerton, Calif., in the wee minutes of Thursday.
The sudden and shocking development moved the Angels to cancel Thursday's night game, the finale of a four-game series with Oakland. Makeup plans will be announced later.
Into that third-floor room, media members, club officials and Fullerton police and fire department officers filed in with long faces and vacant eyes. They were there to discuss the 12:24 a.m. accident that took three lives and left a fourth in critical condition, and to reminisce about an exceptional 22-year-old.
As Tim Mead, the Angels' vice president of communications said in opening the proceedings, "It is with deep regret that we are having this press conference."
Of all the sad, thoughtful and poignant sentiments that ensued, nothing spoke louder of Adenhart's effect than the eyes of agent Scott Boras, which weren't vacant but wet.
Looking completely distraught when his turn to speak came, Boras took several deep breaths before saying, "Nick's parents, Jim and Janet, wanted me to convey to the entire Angels organization ... "
Then the tough-as-steel agent broke down, audibly sobbing before again collecting himself to say through quivering lips, "He was a great kid. His life goal was to be a big league baseball player. He'd summoned his father [on Tuesday], telling him 'You better come [to Wednesday's game]. Something special's going to happen.'"
Something special did: Adenhart blanked the Oakland A's for six innings of what turned out to be an Angels loss.
"After the game," Boras said, "he was so elated. It was tremendous fun. A great moment for all of us, seeing a young man take a huge step."
A couple of hours after that 6-4 loss, the Angels suffered a loss much more painful and lasting. A van driven by Andrew Thomas Gallo, a 22-year-old Riverside resident, ran a red light at the Fullerton intersection of Lemon and Orangethorpe and slammed the two-door Eclipse in which Adenhart was a passenger, hurtling it against a telephone pole.
Adenhart was pulled from the wreckage by Fullerton Fire Dept. rescuers and transported within 15 minutes to University of California-Irvine Medical Center, where he was soon pronounced dead. Courtney Stewart, the 20-year-old driver of the vehicle, and another unidentified 27-year-old male passenger were declared dead at the scene.
"An absolutely horrible tragedy," said Lt. Kevin Hamilton, in charge of the traffic bureau for the Fullerton Police Dept. and lead investigator on the case.
Hamilton said Gallo would be booked on DUI, vehicular manslaughter and murder charges, but the eventual charges he will face will be up to the District Attorney. Gallo's arraignment is scheduled for Monday.
Gallo has a history of arrests for driving under the influence. While withholding specifics, Hamilton said his blood-alcohol reading was above the minimum. The officer also said Gallo was driving with a license suspended due to his DUI infractions.
Angels general manager Tony Reagins and manager Mike Scioscia sat stone-faced behind that third-floor table in sharing their memories of Adenhart.
"He was a privilege to be around. He grew as much in four years as anyone I've ever known," said Scioscia. "I can't tell you how proud I was of the great progress he made. He had arm surgery before throwing his first pitch in professional ball, so his family should be very proud."
As head of the Angels' Minor League system prior to his ascension to GM in he winter of '07, Reagins had a special relationship with Adenhart.
"He had a great energy, but didn't show it," Reagins said. "He was very poised; nothing ever seemed to faze this kid.
"He was a tremendous player, and a tremendous person who impacted the other players and the coaching staff in a very positive way. Disbelief is prevalent; we're all in shock. We will deeply miss him; it's difficult to express how much."
Although Thursday night's game is off, the entire roster will convene in its Angel Stadium locker, with Scioscia holding a meeting to begin the healing process.
"We'll have everyone together," Scioscia said, "and start to move forward. And we'll focus on supporting Nick's family."
Wednesday's start was Adenhart's fourth in the bigs. He went 1-0, with an ERA of 6.00. In four Minor League seasons, one at each rung of the ladder, the 14th-round 2004 Draft choice went 37-28 with an ERA of 3.87.
But ERA is not the most compelling acronym of Nick Adenhart's legacy. It is RIP.

洛杉磯天使菜鳥投手艾登哈特車禍喪生
2009-04-10 中國時報【中廣新聞／夏明珠】
美國職棒洛杉磯天使隊的菜鳥投手（艾登哈特）星期四球賽結束後幾個小時，在洛杉磯車禍身亡，對方酒醉駕駛。22歲的（艾登哈特）美西時間星期四凌晨，和三個朋友同乘的車子在安納罕天使隊球場幾公里外，被一輛闖紅燈的箱型車撞上，艾登哈特送醫後不治，同車的另外三人，兩死一重傷；對方肇禍之後下車企圖逃跑，在不遠處被捕。
艾登哈特去年五月進入大聯盟的時候是大聯盟最年輕的投手，去年他只出賽三場，昨天是他今年球季第一次登場。他在天使和奧克蘭運動家的比賽中先發，主投六局，下場的時候，天使隊還領先三分，不過後來運動家超前，他的勝投泡湯。因為這起惡耗，天使取消原訂星期四晚上和運動家的比賽。

我不相信世界上有哪個合格駕駛人不知道酒後不能開車
為什麼仍然一再的有這麼多酒駕肇事害無辜的人喪命的事
真是可惡!!
