One of the pri­mary rea­sons why I’ve grown to love the Dodgers.

This was just shock­ing to see. I was out at lunch vis­it­ing Wells Fargo when CNN came on regard­ing it. At first, I thought it was just a nor­mal plane crash; after, of course, CNN stat­ing that it wasn’t a ter­ror­ist attack of any kind. Then, they updated with the head­line that the plane was reg­is­tered to Cory Lidle, the NY Yan­kees pitcher.

It’s just sad to hear that he was the pilot.
