Twenty years ago today, two Cleveland Indians pitchers -- Tim Crews and Steve Olin -- were killed in a boating accident on Little Lake Nellie. Pitcher Bob Ojeda was seriously injured in that accident, but survived.
I remember watching Sportscenter that night and having the anchors break in with the news. It was a tragic accident that reverberated around MLB.
There are a couple of very good stories up today about the tragedy, and what has happened to the families in the aftermath -- one at the USA Today website, and one at MLB.com.
Check one or both of them out, particularly if you aren't old enough to remember when this happened.
