Rockies recall Fernandez’s smile, joy for game
- Updated: September 25, 2016
LOS ANGELES — Carlos Gonzalez’s glowing smile was mostly absent on Sunday morning. It only showed when he remembered the beam of the late Jose Fernandez, the Marlins’ 24-year-old star pitcher who was tragically killed in a boating accident.
Gonzalez’s favorite smile from Fernandez came, fittingly, at a time when most people would’ve thought he had no reason to smile.
“It was 2014, that was before Opening Day, so you get there one day before and I saw him,” Gonzalez said. “I saw him and he was telling me he was going to strike me out three times on Opening Day, so I said, ‘OK, let’s go to battle.'”
