PHINS'09!! :D
this stinks
i thought only 2 died...Lidle and the instructor...Ray Finkle said:Good point. Since we're all sport fans we get wrapped up in Lidle dying but we all should think about the others (3 people I believed) who died as well. I'm still shocked, no one ever expects to hear news like this.

Boik14 said:Cory Lidle came up with the mets in the mid 90's after being traded here by the Brewers. He was a guy who made the most out of his ability and because of that work ethic carved out a successfull, if unspectacular career. Occassionally he said too much to the press but that doesnt make him a bad guy. He perservered playing through numerous minor league teams and 7 MLB teams (NYM, TB, Oak, Cincy, Philly, NYY, Toronto). Let this be an example of how far work ethic can carry you even if you arent the most talented....if youre the hardest working you can still succeed.
I still have the ticket stub from his 1st pro start: Game 37 - Sun, May 11 NYM @STL W 6-4 WP: C Lidle LP: D Eckersley
RIP Cory Lidle
Yeah looking back I guess it is....I had season tix in 97 and i have all the stubs in a bag with the final score on each with the winning sp and losing sp.Ray Finkle said:That's pretty cool.
