We all thought it was weird but of course tragic this afternoon when the plane hit the NYC apartment building. I’m not sure why it seems more personal when it’s a celebrity involved; I guess because we all feel like we know celebrities a little bit even though we don’t.
I always feel like baseball stories especially matter to me because my sister works for MLB.com, so as soon as I heard the sad news about Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle I also thought about NYC sister — who until then I’m sure was in the middle of coordinating tonight’s post-season coverage. [Believe me, I haven't called yet to ask. We actually don't call her much in October anyway. Maybe I will ask about this at Thanksgiving.] From the extensive coverage on her site, the day took a very different turn, but they have put together a great package that gives a nice picture of Lidle and reaction from around the league.
So unfortunate.
