Why isn't ESPN showing anything from corrales's death?

ESPN is gonna have no choice but to cover it soon with the growing hispanic population. They are gonna be sick to their stomach when this happens.

and your gonna see chico on the hof soon. the e-mail flooding will be growing soon. not just from here but also from other hispanic fans.

I asked for help editing and you insult me because your a pathetic waste of air.

I just pointed out that it wasn't particularly well written.

I didn't insult you at all.

And I'm not going to help you edit your letter when I'm not entirely convinced Chico should be inducted into the HOF.

Since when does a person's death automatically induct them into the HOF, IMMEDIATELY (like you're suggesting), bypassing the mandatory 5 year wait.

Baseball is a popular sport, The Yankees is the most popular team in all of American sports, and flying a plane into a building (after 9/11) is going to get anyone news time....

I understand that part. My point, though, was that Lidle's death received extensive coverage. It didn't end mere hours after his death, or even after they discovered the cause of death. It was discussed for a few days on ESPN, talk radio, major sports sites, etc.

You're missing the point, Antonio.

If you fly a plane into a building, your story is going to get news coverage.

My thinking is this. If that pitcher dying was the top story for that day, how can Corrales not even be mentioned once?

Im talking about the Cardinals pitcher that just died, Jack.

He was drunk driving and crashed, causing his death. This was a major story for days on ESPN.

Ask this question to someone in the media and they'll tell you it's because Mayweather and De La Hoya didnt save boxing...Those ****ers!...The media I mean not the fighters.

I said an alernative which is doable in the letter. Which you probably didn't even read. No offense, but you are really a ****sucker. Still an insult even when you say no offense.

I heard something quick that he died, and that's it. ****ed up, I was just talking about him to a friend yesterday. This is awful.

No, I read it.

I hope I didn't scar you for life. I didn't mean to.

Anyway, I'm off to work, chao.
