By now, I'm sure you've already heard about Los Angeles Angels rookie pitcher Nick Adenhart having been killed in a car accident in a hit and run incident with a drunk driver. What you might not have known is that Nick is originally from Hagerstown, and was a Redskins fan. In this age of new media, we have Nick's Myspace profile preserved. If you look under his profile pictures, he has a somewhat haunting, yet now even more poignant, tribute to Sean Taylor. Nick was one of us.

If you get a chance, go to that Halos Heaven thread and express your condolences -- and mention your unique connection to Nick.

He was a true patriot, too.

As a Dbacks fan, this meant a lot to me: Here’s a picture taken from Team USA in 2006. From left to right, Nick, Angels teammate Brandon Wood, Dbacks 3B (and former UVa SS) Mark Reynolds

Insert witty and/or humorous signature here.

Just responded to you over on Halos Heaven

Hagerstown was probably his last permanent residence. Nick was born in Silver Springs and went to High School in Williamsport, MD. I’d known that for a while but didn’t put two and two together until I saw your post at Halos Heaven and then the ST pic in his myspace profile.

I’m an Angels fan and this has hit me almost as hard as Sean Taylor. This kid was gonna be a stud. Never thought I’d have to deal with something like this again.

Yeah....

That’s pretty fucking rough to lose a poor kid like that just hours after he posts his first major league win.

My condolences. Seriously.
