The article I read said it was Fernandez' boat.

You're right. They said initially it wasn't his but later said it was.

It's pretty clear that whoever was driving was very inexperienced. I mean, just look at those rocks.

I guess the other possibility, based on the article, is that Fernandez *knew* exactly what he was doing, although that's a massive leap.

Makes more sense why his number is chalk white on Chapmans hat

A couple bumps and a buzz, no biggie. He'd be great at night fishin' on the Nodaway.

Granted this could be self serving but seems to fit:

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/loca...111325997.html

"The evidence: A witness who was on the phone with Fernandez “at the point of impact,” the lawyer said. The witness told police and Fernandez’s lawyer that the pitcher “was telling the person driving to go left, go left, bear away from the shore, and moments later, communications ceased,” the attorney said."

People do drugs to escape the reality that people like you exist in this world. Just smoke a joint man. Maybe you won't feel the need to boast about your double digit IQ every time a "controversial" topic is discussed here.

Is it sad? Obviously. But it's not a tragedy and the Marlins are in a tough spot now honoring a guy killed while on Coke. That's a terrible message to send to kids.

You missed the point. They honored him for the teammate he was and what he did for the Cuban American community.

They didn't honor him because he was killed in an accident.

Without a doubt.

But they retired his jersey. They have to rescind that now, based on his Coke actions. Or they can just pretend it never happened and ignore the terrible message it sends kids.

I don't live there and my kids are too young for sports. But if a Royals player died doing Coke, I'd make damn sure my kids saw his life as a warning - not an example

I'm pretty sure that is your job as a parent.

I highly doubt that un-retiring his jersey is going to keep anyone from drinking or doing blow.
