Lidle Remembered
His family and friends bid Corey Lidle farewell today.
Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle was remembered as "a loving husband and an awesome father" Tuesday at a memorial attended by family, friends and teammates of the avid yet inexperienced pilot who was killed during an aerial tour of New York City.
As the 45-minute outdoor service began, three planes similar to the one Lidle owned appeared over the roof of the Mausoleum of Christian Heritage and flew over the crowd before disappearing into dark gray clouds. The planes later made two more passes.
It sounds like a sendoff Lidle would appreciate.
On another note, take a look at the picture with the article. Doesn't the Yankees brain trust look like they are auditioning for a new FBI TV series? Numb3rs meets Criminal Minds. :-)
