Royals' 100-mph thrower Yordano Ventura, 25, dies in Dominican Republic car crash.

You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

Technically, traveling at higher speeds lengthens your lifespan by a negligible amount -- it's sudden decelerations to zero that kill.

Former prospect Andy Marte died in a car accident yesterday as well.

He doesn't need his own thread.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

You're misunderstanding special relativity.

You're right. Saying "lengthens your lifespan as perceived by a static observer by a negligible amount due to the effects of time dilation" would have been a much better way of phrasing my Dead Pool joke. You're absolutely right.
