Jose Fernandez is killed in a boat crash
Fernandez wasn't just an amazing pitcher; he was a bridge to the next generation of baseball fandom, a player who had an unabashed exuberance and joy for the game and wasn't afraid to express it. When you thought of baseball at its best, and what it still could be, you thought of Fernandez. His loss remains inexplicable. And Dee Gordon's home run in the Marlins' first game after Fernandez's death, with the whole team wearing his number, is one of the game's more emotional moments in recent memory.
