Here is a list of athletes who have been killed in plane crashes. I didn't realize there were some many (dating all the way back to a Reds player in 1925)
"I do not think baseball of today is any better than it was 30 years ago... I still think Radbourne is the greatest of the pitchers." John Sullivan 1914-Old athletes never change.
The NHL and NBA have the most helpful, while the NFL is pretty hard on the team and well, who knows about MLB.
Thanks for looking that up!
Am I the only one that thinks that the powers that be in baseball act just like a Republican-controlled government? “Well, we certainly have something in place, but we don’t want to say what it is?” “But, sir, I’m just asking about the dinner plans for the convention this weekend.”
Seriously. Why keep that secret? It is completely unnecessary to withhold that information from anyone, and it only makes you look like a jerk.

Bingo, those were the famous Busby Babes, dubbed after legendary United manager Matt Busby, with most or all of them taken tragically so, while in the primes of their careers. But yeah, a tragedy of this magnitude is very rare because air travel, in general, relative to automotive and rail transport, is significantly safer. In the case of Cory Lidle, he was a beginner pilot, flying a plane that's recommended more for intermediate flyers.
Keeping things in perspective, Cory's death was equally shocking as WWE's Eddie Guerrero's in November of last year.

Really?? You think? Don't those wrestlers die early of heart problems (ect.) all the time? Lidle crashed into a Manhattan high rise with a plane. Eddie died in a hotel room after years of drug and alcohol abuse. I don't think to the two are equal, but that's just my opinion.

I meant that in my opinion, Cory's death was just as shocking (not similar in the way they past away) as Eddie Guerrero's.

Eddie Guerrero was a reckless matador who dressed up like Robin Hood and shot bulls with arrows at point-blank range as a cathartic and symbolic display because his senorita broke his heart and left her.
