We should also remember Lyman Bostock.  Another young player who was tragically murdered.

For those who are not familiar with his story,

Both players need to be remembered.

I remember hearing this news while in my dorm room at LB St., and being totally at a loss for words.   Lyman had gone from hitting .140 in April, to around .340 from May 1 on.       And he was a class person, taken at waaaay too young of an age (27).

The biggest blessing to me was being able to bless Nick's mom and dad with a cherry wood framed collage of his pictures coming up through the Angels brass, including his brilliant start against the A's. 

We presented them to Tim Mead, Wally Joyner's daughter (who was an intern in the PR department), who then gave the memorial pictures to mom and dad. 

Brian, Lou, Glen, Adam, Dave, Bruce, Jody and so many others were there that day, under the Big A. Special moment in AW history for me.

Would have been what, 37? Maybe still pitching…after that last start I thought he was breaking through to being something special.

True.  I went to that game with some friends, and it was so shocking when I got the news of what had happened after the game to him.  Someone so young with such a bright future, it was devastating.
