  Jose was my friend. I went to high school with him at Alonso. The culture shock was a big deal. He acted how he always acted, not knowing that some of those actions were frowned upon in America. He was a kind soul. None of his antics were malicious. RIP to a real life hero.

  I don't really cry when watching sports but Dee Gordon's home run and his emotions rounding the bases made me cry.

  Thank you Jose for being so kind to my son and signing his Baseball. To this day he treasures it and keeps a picture of Jose on his wall.

  Still remember how gutting it was to wake up to the news of his death. It feels so unreal, even today. RIP.

  Regardless of what happened, he was a great pitcher and it’s sad we couldn’t see his full potential

  2.58 career ERA in 4 years. Incredible player who could have been one of the greatest of all time. Sad to hear the way that all ended. RIP to everyone on that boat.

  just because he was intoxicated doesn't make him the villain, I'm sure all three of them were, it was one of those crazy miami nights. the one thing this story should remind us is to be mindful of what we do and be responsible and not reckless. this still feels surreal RIP to all three of em.

  Baseball may not exist, but Jose Fernandez definitely did. <br>May he never be forgotten.

  I remember the day after he died I was in my high school journalism class (I live in Miami). The teacher asked us what stories we had picked to write about, and after the first person said “Jose Fernandez”, she asked us how many people had picked his death. Every person in that 30+ person class had their hand up.

  Just think that if Yelich and Ozuna had accepted the invitation to go on the boat, they could both not be alive right now

  His story, regardless how it ended, is heartbreaking and he deserves to be remembered positively and proudly for what he accomplished and the talent he had. RIP to all three of those who passed away tragically.
