It’s so sad! The St. Louis Cardinal
Baseball player Oscar Taveras has died in a car accident in the Dominican
Republic on Sunday. He was 22.
The news came; there is an auto
accident in which his girlfriend also killed on Saturday afternoon. But the
news released until Sunday night just after Gaints and Royals had started to
play the game 5 of the World Series.
The 22 year old Taveras played
his final game of the World Series at AT&T Park on October 16 in the fifth
game of the National League Championship Series. The player was talented but
the cardinals did not win that round and the giants are in the World Series so
the Taveras returned to his native Dominican Republic.
Cardinals General Manager John
Mozeliak said in a statement. “I first met Oscar when he was 16 years old and
will forever remember him as a wonderful young man who was a gifted athlete
with an infectious love for life who lived every day to the fullest.”
Taveras had appeared in 80 games
for the cardinals and ranked by the no. 3 prospects in the game before starting
this season.
Cardinal fans are paying tribute
to great player and also started a memorial for Oscar at the foot of Stan
Musial's statue outside Busch Stadium.
