Title: Plane Crash- Yankee Pitcher Crashes Plane, 4 Dead
Post by: KeithHernandez on October 11, 2006, 09:50:20 pm

This is a  sad, scary story concerning Yankees former pitcher*he pitched last saturday.  Not really anything I want to add or joke about or anything at all, just posting for Info.  Cory Lidle was killed today in a plane crash in a plane he was piloting.  He ran into a NYC apartment building, killing 4 (at least by early reports).

I'm suprised every outlet reporting the story calls him a "Yankee pitcher."  He was on the team for like, two months.  ESPN was doing all day coverage with a Yankee logo next to the headline.
