On this day last year, the baseball world lost a talented, young star in Marlins’ ace José Fernández. It was a tragedy that affected many lives from the victims to baseball fans across the world. It’s crazy how one bad decision could impact the rest of your life. People have many different views on José Fernández after full details of the situation were released. Think of him how you’d like, but to many he was a great person with a bright personality and one of the true full lovers of the game. To honor him, I’d like to share my favorite moments. From his debut, to his last game, he was always fun to watch.
