On April 8th 2009 Nick Adenhart made his fourth career start and the first one of the season. In this start he pitched 6 scoreless innings and struck out five batters during that start, a near perfect start for his first of the season. This was the best game of his young career, which looked to be promising.
The real story is the tragic events that arose the night after his stellar performance against the A's. On April 9th 2009, Nick Adenhart was involved in a tragic three-way car crash in Fullerton. This accident happened just around midnight by a 22 year old man named Andrew Thomas Gallo. Gallo was driving drunk and already had a suspend license, so Gallo's car ran after he hit Adenhart's car and was caught 30 minutes later by the cops. He was later charged with the murder of Adenhart.
Ever since this accident happened the Angels players have really honored him by displaying his picture in the outfield and also bringing his jersey to every game. The Angels also have kept his locker with his jersey in it. And they also have the number 34 patch on the front of all their jerseys. The fans created their own memorial outside the stadium with his jersey and flowers.
In my opinion this is the best and saddest story in all of baseball. This is a sad story because of the bright future lost due to a tragic death. It is also a touching story because of what the Angels have accomplished this season with the loss of their teammate and best friend.
this is a very interesting story i followed this story when it happened
ReplyDeleteThis is a really sad story. It is nice how the team honors and remembers him.
ReplyDeleteI heard of this when it had broke back in April. Who knows, perhaps he would've gotten to start in one of the three playoff games against the Red Sox if he were still alive.
ReplyDeleteThis story is very sad. I like the way the team honors him.
ReplyDeleteYou have quite a lot of grammar problems, especially regarding your use of the comma and capitalizing. However, it was a great choice in story and I can tell you summarized in your own words.
ReplyDeleteFix the grammar for a re-grade.

On April 9th 2009 Nick Adenhart, was involved in a tragic three-way car crash in Fullerton.--comma should be after date.
This accident happened, just around Midnight, by a 22 year old man, named Andrew Thomas Gallo--no comma after happened, midnight is not capitalized, no comma after man.
Gallo was driving drunk, and with a suspend license , so Gallo ran after he hit Adenhart's car, and was caught 30 minutes later by the cops, and later charged with the murder of Adenhart, and his friend--COMMA OVERLOAD...NOT NEEDED--also this is a run on sentence.
the fans created their on memorial outside the stadium with, his jersey, and flowers- THE needs to be capitalized.
