The bottom looks like that grounded hard and fast. |

Lack of details.
Accident happened. 3 died. Nothing else is said. |

View Quote Damn, paint the bottom or put it on a lift. My mistake, probably white bottom paint. |

Hauling ass in the dark, not watching the GPS, cut the end of the jetty too close. It happens here four or five times a year.

May I guess? Big 'Go-fast' boat. Drinking. Hit something hard. Looks like a CC to me. New CC's go plenty fast nowadays. They certainly can.....but what is pictured is not a 39' nortech w/ tripple 400's. A 30mph crash into the rocks will do the job. |

Baseball players should stay out of boats!
Got to meet Tim Crews shortly before his death. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Crews |

Even with a smaller outboard that boat would do 35-45 mph, and those jetty rocks aren't moving. i womder if he had a life vest on and was found floating or if he knocked his head on something in the boat? Either way a sad deal. I love boating but you have to always be 100% aware or things like this happen.

Reminds me of the time 3 Indians players were killed in a boating accident in FL years ago.

Damn crazy. One of the top players in the game. I do have to wonder though if there are any lights on the jetty? Or did they just not know where they were? Im sure alcohol played a factor. But it also seems like it would be a good idea to have a few lights along the rocks.

You can find them at night using NVGs because of the waves breaking on the rocks. It's also not a good idea to haul ass in the dark when you know there is a big pile of rocks out there. |

Not even 25 and already one of the best players in the game.
What a damn shame. |
|
What damn shame, twenty four, top player millionaire. Had life by the balls. Kinda puts things in perspective.

He was a class act. He spent time with my son at spring training a couple of years ago and helped instill the love for the game in him. He touched my son's life in a big way. RIP Jose. The game lost one of the best pitchers it will ever have. |

Boats and planes can fuck you up, guns too. Gotta have your game on when you mess with them.

Wow so sad.
The real question is: how did a MLB ace aquire sensitive information on the Clintons? |

One of the ESPNs aired a live press conference with the USCG, Miami-Dade Fire & Rescue and others in attendance. They confirmed the boat was a 32' SeaVee. At this time, there is no indication of alcohol or illegal drug use, but they did say it was early in the investigation.

That Jetty has been there since the 1930's it's not like it's suddenly changed any. |
