Game 1 And The Cory Lidle Tragedy
Sometimes you get news that trumps all the drama related to baseball and the playoffs. The news that Cory Lidle was killed in plane crash in Manhattan is that type of news.
I was completely off line for most of the day and my wife called me to tell me a small plane had crashed into a building in Manhattan. She told me it was a very small plane and a residential building so I thought that this should definitely be an accident. Then she called me back 10 minutes later to tell me that the plane was registered to Cory Lidle. So i just turned on ESPN and heard that it’s confirmed that he was involved in the crash. It’s simply unbelieveable. My thoughts are with the Lidle family and the families of the other people involved in this tragedy.
They’re also reporting that it looks like the Mets might not be able to get game 1 in due to rain. MLB is not postponing any games due to the crash and I think that’s the right move. But it looks like they may not get the game in anyway.
