Dee Gordon: Hitting HR for Jose Fernandez ‘best moment of my life’

Miami Marlins second baseman Dee Gordon paid tribute to fallen teammate Jose Fernandez with a lead-off home run on Monday night. One of Fernandez’s good friends, he broke down in tears afterward.

In a post-game interview, Gordon called his home run the “best moment of my life.”

On Sunday, after news broke that Fernandez had died in the tragic boat crash, Gordon remembered his friend in a touching Instagram post.

Fernandez, just 24 years of age when he passed, was beloved by all who knew him. His magnetic smile was a ray of sunshine that will be sorely missed. May he rest in peace.
