Just came in from work and saw the news. 24 is far too young no matter your profession, but I will say this. Almost more than any other young athlete, I honestly enjoyed watching him pitch. I'll tune into games because of the matchup. I'll tune into games because of the rivalries. I'll tune into games simply because they are on. I thoroughly enjoy the sport of baseball and I thoroughly enjoyed tuning into games specifically to watch him pitch. His ability was mesmerizing. There are great pitchers coast to coast, and several are arguably better than him, but strictly from the prospective of watching a person take the mound and try to hurl a baseball past another man - there was no current player I took more joy in watching than Jose.
