   Wow. I'm just going through my videos to see what it's time to delete & what to keep & I came across this again…………….Man.

   Every time i see these videos it brings tears to my eyes. What an emotional time this was if you're a baseball fan.

   A Real life Shakespearean tragedy. A young promising life gone too soon.

   Came to America to make his dreams come true. Became a professional, all-star baseball pitcher. Became a US Citizen. Happy go lucky baseball star meets pretty young girl. Baseball star & pretty young girl fall in love. Young baseball star announces to his teammates & homies that his girl is pregnant & he's going to become a proud father. Everything he ever wanted is coming true. Six days later,……….He's dead.

   The shock & emotion of the Miami Marlins players & front office on their faces as this tragic event sunk in said it all.

   And I don't know if it was just coincidence or if he was seeked out by the cameras, but Dee Gordon's emotion, actions, face, seemed to define the moment. He was either crying, or standing stoically with a lone tear coming from his eye, or sitting down in what appeared to be shock, dazed, staring off into space. Not to take away the pain of the other players, but Dee Gordon broke my heart during that whole tragic event.
   The pain & emotion, the tears he displayed, just got to me & my emotions. He seemed destroyed.
   And when he hit that home run, after taking a pitch in the right hand batters box, his unnatural side, wearing Jose's helmet, & after that painfully emotional opening ceremony to Jose Fernandez, where I had no idea that "Take me out to the Ballgame" played by a sad lone trumpet could sound like "Taps", and he started crying as he rounded the bases, and arrived at home plate to a sea of Marlins players hugging him as he cried into their arms, I just realized that this guy seemed annointed to carry & officially display the grief of this organization. I cried, & looked at it over & over & over again. The timing of that emotional moment almost seemed spiritual. It was like a sad movie! Straight out of "Brian's Song".

   Wow. Well, time has moved on now. Stanton & Gordon play for other teams now. The front office is changing, mgmt, etc, a la Derek Jeter.

   But as a baseball fan, I will never forget that time. And the lessons it taught. Life is short, make the most of it. Make the most of every moment. Thank God for every day. I heard somewhere, "We are all on this earth but for a split second between eternities.".
   Words to live by.

   And the dark lesson from all this, which we all must learn, Drugs & Alcohol destroy.

   But I don't want to dwell on that. Jose made a misjudgment, as we all do. None of us is perfect. It does not take away the pain, the emotion, the extreme sense of loss that was exhibited by the Marlins Organization, but what we must continue to do, is to continue to impress upon people, young & old, that the curse of drugs & Alcohol is something that must be avoided, & I know it's easier said than done. But these brain altering, life altering substances can ruin, even take lives.

   But that said, what I want to dwell on is the life. Jose can be an inspiration to us all to follow your dreams. Chase them even if it seems impossible. Make it happen! That is the positive I cherish. And he made it happen for himself. We can make it happen for ourselves.

   We never did see where Dee Gordon's homerun ball landed. My guess is, he hit it so hard & so far, it probably wound up in heaven, where Jose caught it, and is holding it close to his heart. Jose knows where it came from, and is smiling.

   PLEASE DON'T EVER DELETE THIS VIDEO!!!!

   I'm not deleting it from my videos.

   God bless the Hernandez Family & the Marlins Organization.

   Peace, love & strength as we all travel down life's road filled with triumphs , disappointments, pain, ups & downs.

   Be strong.

   Peace.

    23:40 One of the most emotional home runs ever hit. The spirit of Jose Fernandez was behind that one.

    @homiefromfl 5年 ago

    Classy of Bartolo to go in pretty chill to open the game. Props to the Mets, and wow… what a difficult game to play. Definitely the saddest game ever played.

    This game.
    First game in NYC after 9/11.
    Mets vs Phillies 2011 when OBL was killed.

    The Mets are involved with a lot of memorable games.

    Was this before or after they found out he killed two other people and was on drugs and alcohol? What a shame.
