oh wow, what a tragedy for a young man that was very close to coming into his own. I opened this expecting to hear of an injury or getting arrested...this sucks.
Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?
Yes, terrible news. Brings to mind all of the ballplayers who died during their careers, like Adenhart, Dernell Stenson, Darryl Kile, Lyman Bostock, Roberto Clemente and many others. RIP Oscar.
I've driven in the DR and while it was expectedly hectic, it didnt seem any more dangerous than other third-world countries, such as Mexico. I had no idea it was the most dangerous. But I did see signs admonishing people to not run red lights.

A spokeswoman for the Dominican Republic's Attorney General's Office, Tessie Sanchez, said Oscar Taveras was "legally intoxicated when he crashed."
Sanchez revealed that a toxicology report showed Taveras' blood-alcohol level was five times the legal limit. Taveras and his girlfriend, 18-year-old Edilia Arvelo, were killed in a car crash on October 26 in his native Dominican Republic. Taveras was 22 years old.
