Death of a Ball Player

Minor Leaguer Steve Martin died in a car accident after being released:

Steve Martin's car crossed the center line and veered off a county road, then struck a tree and guardrail and overturned about 2 a.m. Thursday, according to a sheriff's report.

The 24-year-old outfielder died about 90 minutes later at Adena Regional Medical Center in this southern Ohio city. Speed and alcohol appear to be factors in the crash, the report said.

Martin, hitting .209 in his second season with the Paints, was released on Wednesday, then watched the team's 3-1 win over River City from the stands.

My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
