Timm,I went to West Covina High School.W.C.H.S. had a real mixture of kids from different backgrounds etc. going there. South Hills High School was always considered the rich kids' school.We have had like one guy make it in the majors(Tom Brunansky,)but South Hills has had Giambi,Lidle,and many others.Did they get a really good coaching staff there,or is it a coincidence that they have all these players that made it? I think Haren went to Bishop Amat.That good hitter for the Rangers(Young) went to Covina High School.Lidle still lived out here (in Glendora.)Didn't take long for the News crews to gather outside that house.

Scuds: the talent pool in SoCal was tremendous, and probably continues to be so. There is alot of old money and really nice hacienda's and ranch/horse property south of the 10 Fwy. West Covina/Covina won the Pony League World Series a few times back in the day. The Roenicke brothers grew up in the area also. And...there was quite a crowd outside the Grandparents house in Glendora.

I know how people say flying is safer than driving but I am still not convinced. The thing is you have a pretty good chance at surviving a car crash, where as slim and none of a chance if you are unfortunate enough to be involved in a plane crash. Call me crazy, but I feel safer in a car.

this guy was tossed in the Abreau trade with the Phils
actually made the trade even more lopsided
give credit to Cashman for this one at least
it's a real tragic event; my condolences

Not with his flight instructor along. Suicide is one thing but taking another down with you is reserved for the extremely disturbed which he wasn't.

I'd take a jet to Vegas, or use commercial to go anywhere else, but you're not getting me in anything other than a Gulfstream for a private ride!
