This makes me rage. This morning I was surprised at how upset I was, I basically had tears in my eyes. Angels are my favorite team after the Sox, and though I live in Boston, and I'm a Sox fan, these events go far beyond teams, and even baseball itself.
This is the part that makes me angry. This is showing both ends of the spectrum. How people my age, one on top of the world, a rising superstar achieving so much, can be taken down by someone on the downturn who is totally fucking up their own life. And their indiscretion took down someone who was on top of his own personal game, his life and his dreams.
I can't even begin to imagine how the parents, friends and other family in the organization feel. I was upset and I'm not even connected to him. So all of my thoughts go out to the Adenhart family and Angels organization. Much love, #34.
