Don Mattingly sheds tears remembering life and legacy of Jose Fernandez

Don Mattingly

The sudden and tragic death of Jose Fernandez has obviously hit the Miami Marlins hard. Understandably, manager Don Mattingly had a hard time working through his emotions when talking about the late pitcher.

The video is not easy to get through. When he did manage to fight through his tears, the manager spoke wonderfully about a career and life ended far too soon.

“There was just joy with him when he played…and when he pitched. And I think that’s what the guys will say, too. As mad as he would make you with some of the stuff he would do, you just see that little kid. When you watch kids play little league, or something like that. That’s the joy that Jose played with. And and the passion he felt about playing. That’s what I think about.”

It sure doesn’t seem as though anyone who crossed paths with Hernandez will forget about him any time soon.
