RIP Jose Fernandez – 1992 – 2016

Status

Life is lived in the moment.  Jose Fernandez personified this mantra, and the pure joy he exuded when on the mound, in the batters’ box, in the dugout, and everywhere in-between.  So many great articles and tributes have been made to Fernandez in the wake of his tragic death, and I simply want to add a deep, heartfelt “Thank You” for everything he gave in such a short period of time…

The Field of Dreams has it’s new ace, and W.P. is even there to witness…

RIP Jose
