Markakis' Grief

The Baltimore Sun publishes a good story on Nick Markakis' background. It includes a bizarre accident that killed Nick's best friend:

Taylor Scott Randahl died April 14, 2000. An avid mountain biker, Randahl was riding home when a car going in the opposite direction hit a deer. The deer went across the road and knocked the 16-year-old off his bike. Markakis said Randahl died about two hours after the accident.

"I never did get to see him again," said Markakis, his quiet voice filled with regret. "I was with him earlier that day, but he was cremated."

Nick plays in memory of his fallen friend. The whole article is well worth the read.
