The game lost a potentially great player

[diehardmetsfan]

my fall ball coach yesterday played with manny ramirez for george washington high school in New York (josh, do you know it) from 1988-1991 and he also played with a guy (i 4get his name) that was locked into a contract with the twins...he was all set to go 1st overall with a 3 million dollar bonus (in 1991!). he was supposed to be the dominican babe ruth...since he was going 1st overall, he dropped out of high school and went to chill in the dominican republic...he was riding his motorcycle and wiped out and smacked his head on the ground and was pronounced dead on the scene

that's really sad. Motorcycles are cool and I guess fun to ride, making you look tough, but man, they can ruin careers and lives. I'm never going on one

I dirt bike ride, but I will never ever ride a street bike. Everyone in my family does, but I will never.

RIP whoever the person who crashed was.

That almost happens to a lot of players, Ben Rothlesberger (however its spelled) and Aaron Rowand both had almost fatal motor cycle accidents

Motorcycles are only cool if you collect them.

I'd like to ride on one someday but in an empty parking lot or quiet street.

RIP premature professional athlete. Motorcycles are cool to giving your girl friend a ride.
