Nick Adenhart 1986-2009





In just his 4th career start, Nick Adenhart pitched 6 scoreless innings Wednesday night in his first start since being sent back to the minors last year. Hours after his best career pitching outing, he was the victim of an auto accident in which he lost his life in his 22nd year. The driver of the vehicle that struck Adenhart's car was under the influence of alcohol and fled the scene of the accident on foot. He was later arrested and charged with felony hit and run. Adenhart was a 14th round selection out of high school by the Anaheim Angels. An organization that prides itself on personal responsibility and integrity has praised Adenhart's character. If you had the honor of watching Sportscenter Thursday night, you know the kind of organization the Angels run from top to bottom.
