There are confirmed reports Angels pitcher, Nick Adenhart was killed in a traffic accident in Fullerton shortly after midnight.
According to this article from Adenharts hometown newspaper,
"NBC25 - Williamsport High School graduate Nick Adenhart, a pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels, died early this morning in a car accident in Fullerton, California, according to a family member.
Three people were killed in the crash and another person was seriously injured.
Authorities are blaming the three-vehicle accident on a motorist in a mini-van who ran a red light at East Orangethorpe Avenue and South Lemon Street."
Foremost, our most heartfelt condolences go out to Nick's family and friends. Just 22 years-old and taken from us all.
Two others died in the crash, both passengers in the same car as Adenhart. Neither of which were members of the Angels' organization.
Here are some links

Big A’s fan here and I follow a lot of stuff in the minors. I know Adenhart was being talked about as a potential future top-line starter for the Angels and I honestly was looking forward to seeing how his MLB career would turn out because I enjoy the rivalry between the A’s and Angels.
To wake up this morning and find out about it after watching him pitch just last night…it’s shocking and tragic. Forget about any rivalries for the time being. This is terrible to hear about no matter who it is, no matter which team he played for.
My thoughts and prayers to him and his family, and the others that died in this terrible accident.

I just remembered something
I was doing photography for a website at a game in Fresno last year between the Grizzlies and Salt Lake Bees, and for about half an inning I sat next to Dustin Moseley (rehabbing from an injury) and chatted with him, and Nick Adenhart was charting pitches. We exchanged hellos but that was it.
It’s been about an hour since I learned about this and I still can’t believe it.

Another A's fan here
I am saddened and shocked by this tragedy. I still cannot believe I was watching Adenhart pitch a great game yesterday only to hear on sports talk radio that he was taken away too early from this world.
I remember watching last night and feeling so good about the rivalry between the A’s and the Angels and was looking forward to seeing him pitch this year at the Colisseum. Now we can only hang onto the memory and the thought of what would have been.
Today the rivalry our teams have is so small and unimportant as the brotherhood of baseball mourns. It is raining here in the Bay Area today which seems appropriate as the heavens cry out for an Angel.
My condolences go to the Adenhart family, the Angels players and fans, and my prayers are offered for the deliverance of his soul. The world does seem less bright today.

I’m not an Angels fan, but I just happened to read this and had to comment. I want to say that my condolances and prayers go out to Nick Adenhart’s family, friends, the Angels organization as well as anyone else who might’ve been affected in any way by this young man, and any other victim of this crash and their familes and friends. I think it puts things into perspective and is a sombering reminder of just how little baseball really means in the grand scheme of life. It also is a reminder that we should live every day like it’s our last because you never know when that day will come. And it is with tears in my eyes that I say this: RIP Nick Adenhart and anyone else who may have died in this crash.

Maybe I shouldn't be so negative here, I suppose.
But still, this angers me so much. When somebody overdoses, or dies in a boating accident, or whatever, I might feel sad but least I can console myself by telling myself that “hey, at least it was his own decision.” But Adenhart was an innocent young kid whose promise was snuffed out through no fault of his own, by the criminal recklessness of some punk he could never have foreseen.

It’s a tragedy of the worst kind. We have felt this twice this decade, so I know how you all feel. It’s tough. Baseball takes a backseat. It resets your priorities.
I don’t know anything about Adenhart, but it sounds like he was a tremendous ballplayer.

The other guy that died was part of the Angels organization
The identities of the other victims have not been revealed, but TMZ reports that “one of the other men killed in the crash was also affiliated with the Angels organization.”
The guy who ran the red light should be jailed for life, meanwhile this idiot who ran the light left the scene and left but thankfully the police got him. From all us Yankee fans we are very sorry for the entire Angels organization, the fans, and the Adenhart family. I hope the Angels start a foundation for Nick in his honor, i would be really happy if the entire Yankee organization donated money to a foundation for Nick if the Angels decide to make one or if Nicks family wants to make a foundation in his honor. This is a terrible day in MLB i hope this is a big eye opener to people out there that your life can change in a matter of minutes. RIP Nick
From all of us Yankees fans.

I saw this posted on McCovey Chronicles today and I just can’t believe it’s real. I saw Adenhart pitch against the Giants in Scottsdale this spring and he looked great. This is about much more than baseball, but it’s still shocking and heartbreaking to consider this 22 year old top prospect pitcher I just saw a few weeks ago is dead.

As a baseball fan, my very favorite part of the game is watching and rooting for a young player as he comes up and gets his chance to play. I always root for the youngsters more than anyone else. I was so excited watching him pitch last night. I mentioned to my wife that I thought he had arrived and was much more angry about Nick not getting the win than the Angels not getting the win. I was looking forward to watching him again next week. Along with all the other baseball fans out there, I am very sad this morning.

You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.

I’m angry. I’m angry that somebody can be pitching masterfully one moment, and gone the next.
I honestly hope the driver wasn’t drunk, or running from something illegal. The fact that he ran is very bad. If that’s the case, then I hope he burns in Hell.
RIP, Nick. Looks like you got the ultimate call-up, pitching for Jesus’ Wallbangers in the Divine Field.

Another Ranger fan putting baseball aside
I read a fanpost on Adenhart’s development a while back, and I remember thinking that I couldn’t wait for him to produce so that the Angels and Rangers could get some great games between them over the next couple years.
Just wanted to stop by and offer my condolences to the Angels community, but more importantly, Adenhart’s family and friends.; baseball takes a back seat today to recognize the loss of someone who obviously deserved more from life before he left.

H Shit
Having a lot of trouble putting coherent thoughts together….this is just such a senseless, awful tragedy. Partly because Nick had such promise and mostly, of course, because everyone close to him—-his family, his best friends, his teammates, everyone—has to live without him now for the rest of their lives, knowing what could have happened had some fuck in a car not run a light. My first thoughts, even though I wasn’t alive at the time, were of Lyman Bostock and another life snuffed out.
I hope that Lyman is showing Nick around the place and that soon enough they’ll be watching over their team from that better clubhouse in the sky.
My limited legal perspective from having taken crim law is that this guy should easily be charged with reckless homicide—which while not first-degree murder will still put him away for a good many years, if not for life when you tack on the other three. Who knows, maybe they can even get him for Felony Murder if he was committing something other than drunkenness at the time—and then he’d be really screwed.
But we have to know, too, that eventually this murderer is going to understand the enormity of what he has done—we have to deal with tragedy for a time, but this man, just like Nick’s family and friends, has to deal the rest of his life with the repercussions of having killed three people from one stupid decision. I hope our prayers will, even if only eventually, go to him as well.
Bless you, Nick.

Somewhat petty as it may seem, it is truly a shame that Nick couldn’t walk away from the stadium last night with a W. He pitched his heart out with that gem, and it would have been fitting had he seen the rewards for his efforts. So, so sad. Now he will truly get the recognition he deserves.
Heck, can the A’s reverse forfeit the game after the 6th inning—preserving a 4-0 win for Nick?

Another A's fan
I had to go to a family dinner last night, but got home excited to watch last nights game on Tivo. Kept me up until almost 1:00 last night watching the game — can’t believe that the guy I saw frustrate the A’s for six innings, and who gave such a nice post game interview, is no longer with us.
This is a true tragedy for all of baseball, and my heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends of those whose lives were lost and to all Angels fans. Sometime later, when the time is right, please let us over at Athletics Nation know if there is anything we can do to help with anything.
My plan after work today was to go home an re-watch the exciting final two innings of last nights game to re-live the comeback. Now, I think I am going to go home and rewatch the first 6 innings of a young kid starting to come into his own — a pitcher that was given an oppurtunity this year and was taking advantage of it.
RIP Nick Adenhart.

My mind keeps juxtaposing the image of Nick LAST year (the overwhelmed deer -in -headlights) vs. the much more composed pitcher we saw last night.
He had an extended radio interview before yesterday’s game with Physioc where he talked a lot about his life, and pitching, and more…
So on a night after his greatest MLB success…pointing to a very promising future…this very young man with so much future, so much promise, so much to anticipate in life…gone. Forever.

Driving advice...
I lost a friend in a similar situation in 2004. Since then, I have been unable to blindly drive through a normal green light without at least first scanning the horizon for anybody who might be flying into my right of way. I also lift my foot off the gas and prepare to brake in case I need to.
Remember that folks the next time you have a green light. Just because it is green doesn’t mean that everyone near the intersection knows that.

Great Advice.
I try to do this all the time… I think we were warned about this back in Driver’s Ed, and i also keep thinking of those scenes in movies where hackers change all the lights to green and everyone sideswipes each other. If it happens in real life to me, I plan to be the one who does not go through the light and get hit, though I might get rear ended. At least the car is built to protect me and the person rear ending me, unlike side impacts.
I would be surprised if the driver of Adenhart’s car could have prevented what happened, given the speed of the other driver, and knowing that intersection. But it is still good advice I hope everyone will keep in mind when driving though intersections.

I was watching him pitch yesterday on a screen alongside the Dodger game, and I remember thinking to myself how good he was looking and how good he will become. For him to pass away so soon like this is just heartwrenching and a true tragedy. My heart goes out to Adenhart’s family and friends and the organization. RIP

Foe doesn't mean Enemy
All of the support that we see from the other teams out there, especially in the AL West is really moving.
True, we may not like the colors that the other fans wear during the season, or the people that they choose to cheer for, but that doesn’t make us enemies.
We are all united by a love of the game, we just choose different ways to voice our passion.
Thanks for the support and keep all of this sentiment involved the next time you think about booing for a player on the opposing team.

Adenhart is survived by his father Jim and mother Janet. His family released the following statement:
“Nick’s family expresses sincere gratitude for all the help the Angels have provided. He lived his dream and was blessed to be part of an organization comprised of such warm, caring, and compassionate people. The Angels were his extended family. Thanks to all of Nick’s loyal supporters and fans throughout his career. He will always be in everyone’s hearts forever.”
All of us at Halo’s Heaven appreciate the outpouring of feelings from everyone throughout the SB Nation, and throughout baseball overall.

I know we as Rangers and Angels fans are rivals and everything, but this is a time to look past that and remember that we’re all people here, who happen to enjoy the same game. This is immensely saddening, and I’m so sorry that you as Angels fans have to go through this. But please know that we are all here for you as baseball fans, rivals or not.
God Bless.

So Sad - Young Life Gone - Makes you Think
I’m really torn up about this, I love the Halos, been watching them since I was in utero, and I was extremely excited about Adenhart this season. Thrilled to find that he was in the starting rotation, and I felt that he had a lot of potential for a great career. Now he’s gone and there’s not only a huge hole in the rotation, but a huge hole in the hearts of his teammates and his fans.
I think it’s fantastic to see the outpouring of emotion and support from all the fans of other teams, that’s phenomenal. Baseball fans seem to be a dying breed unfortunately, but a tragedy like this really shows the character of baseball and the grand game’s fans.
Whenever someone very young dies those of us who are older need to stop and think about our lives and the BS minutia [sp] that makes us stressed out and depressed, and just get over it, because life is too short and can be taken away at any moment.
We MUST not forget about Nick and his family throughout the years, yes he wasn’t a major leaguer for very long, but he was an Angel through and through, and he will be missed, desperately.
RIP Nick. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, as well as the other two innocents who were plucked away from us last night. It shouldn’t have happened.
I can think of no better way for the Halos to honor Nick than winning the Series in his memory, and now we all have a rallying cry to bind us together. Not that we wanted it this way. EVER.

From the Angels press release
Adenhart, 22, was a passenger in a silver Mitsubishi along with three others. Fullerton Police reported the Mitsubishi proceeded through an intersection, when a van ran a red light and broadsided the vehicle. A female driver and male passenger were in the Mitsubishi were dead when police and fire department personnel arrived. Adenhart died as the result of his injuries at UCI Medical Center earlier this morning. No other members of the Angels organization were involved.

This shouldn’t happen to anyone and when it happens to someone with such a bright future it seems to hit so much harder. I just got back from my biochem class and there were people talking about it who don’t even know about the Angels, that’s how big this has gotten (and I’m in central Illinois so that kind of says something). It feels weird knowing that we’re the only team he will ever record a win against. Our condolences to his friends and family.

I was listening the Sports Lodge on AM 830 when someone called in at about 6:20 this morning saying that an Angels starting pitcher last night had died at the UCI Med Center. Roger Lodge thought it was a prank and hung up guy, but I had a bad feeling in my gut that the guy was telling the truth since he sounded very serious about it. I was also hoping it was a hoax, but unfortunately the report was true. Nick and the other 2 people didn’t deserve to lose their lives this way and I hope justice is served for the guy who caused this.

I’ve just read every post for this thread, and it makes me feel sad, but so supported. I’d like to thank every person who posted on this, to include other clubs SBN support. This is very therapeutic. I began reading with a tear in my eye, a few posts in, I was in absolute tears. By the end, I still feel empty, but better. Many of you took the words right out of my mouth, and wish I could elaborate further, but I’m still at a loss.
I want to send my condolences and support to all who loved Nick, and especially to his family.
As for tonight’s game… it should up to the players. I think they’d want to play in his honor.
I was telling my wife last night about Nick and how he was going to be the next great Angel pitcher… an absolute phenom. I called her at work today to tell her the horrible news… the conversation was just silent… we both paused… what a horrible tragedy.
May the Lord be with you Nick, his family, and all others affected by this.

Condolences to the Adenhart family and the Angels organization.
This tragedy really strikes home how quickly everything we take for granted can be taken away.
Condolences from Over the Monster, and Red Sox fans everywhere.

That was before the game was cancelled,
But I was under the impression that there were going to be inductions into the Angels Hall of Fame tonight. If they went through with it, there would be a lot of mixed emotions.

Hearing others hearing Hunter
Broke my heart. I started crying. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to tell my daughter that one of her friends has passed. I might have to stop reading these posts.

From a Cubs fan...
I was shocked to hear terrible news this morning. I had watched him pitch last night when the MLB Network had some live cut-ins of the game. Just wanted to stop by to express my deepest condolences. The Adenhart family and all of the Angels fans and organization are in my thoughts and prayers.

WOW...stunning!
The name Lyman Bostock came to mind immediately…only I was much younger in 1978.
Having just flown back to Seattle yesterday morning after watching the first two games of the series and season…this is crushing! So much anticipation for his career…glad we got to see him pitch well last night! :)

Red Sox fan here
I would like to extend my condolences to all the families involved, the Angels organization and to all of you, the fans. This is beyond us being rivals when we play eachother, this is a tragedy for all of baseball. This reminds me of when the Yankees came to Fenway right after 911. When the Yankees took the field there was a 10 min standing ovation, it was larger than any game could be, and that is how I feel about this. Such a promising young man and player taken from his family, friends and the baseball community in such a senseless and tragic way. Whenever we play the Angels it is always a great competition between two great teams with so much young talent. Now a big piece of that has been taken forever.

White Sox fan here
My heart goes out to all of Nick Adenhart’s family and friends. I remember Adenhart giving the Sox a hard time last year in Spring Training and always wanted him to be a part of the never ending Konerko-Figgins rumors. This is a terrible loss for all of baseball. You never ever want to see such a promising young kid go out like this.
There was an incident a few years ago. The Bulls were killing the Knicks, scrubs were playing out the clock, and the fans were screaming at them to score 100 points for free Big Macs. They took a ton of shots, Knicks took offense and they tried to fight some Bulls players.
