The sports world reacted with shock and horror Sunday morning when news broke that Miami Marlins pitcher José Fernández (http://mashable.com/2016/09/25/fans-grieve-jose-fernandez-death/?utm_cid=hp-hh-pri#9z0V5Xzrolqi&utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=) — one of baseball's most dominant pitchers and ebullient personalities — died in a boating accident.
Sadly, Fernández joins a too-long list of professional athletes who have died while at or near the height of their powers and popularity.*
