AH:

It truly is a sad day for players, fans, and family in baseball. It's even more sad because he was so young and he could only get better as he was reaching his prime. Now he's on a list of players whose potential will never be realized. I'm happy that you got to meet him at the ASG festivities this past summer.

If there is a legacy that he will leave, it's his ambition, the positivity that he brought to his clubhouse as well as the opponents, and his story. I'm sure you read about his journey just to get here from Cuba, his love of family (his grandmother especially), and his desire to be one of the best. Yes, I agree that his number should be retired. He would be the first MIAMI Marlin to get that honor if it is done.
