Bengie Molina on Nick Adenhart’s Death: “The Slightest of Margins”

Bengie Molina is one of the few MLB players to have blogged, so far, about the death of Nick Adenhart, killed Wednesday night by a suspected hit-and-run drunk driver.

In the latest entry of his blog, Behind the Mask, Bengie writes that following his own 0-for-5 Opening Day performance, the news of Nick Adenhart's senseless death puts things in perspective:  "I keep thinking about Nick Adenhart... It's the kind of news that gives you the chills.  Makes you shake.  We're playing a game, but once those lights go out in the ballpark, it's real life out there."

A catcher who works hard to control the game, Bengie blogs:  "I keep thinking how you can be doing everything 100 percent right, but some other guy right next to you isn't doing the right thing and you pay the price."

"I keep thinking that if Adenhart's car had entered the intersection two seconds earlier or two seconds later, maybe he goes home thinking about his next start."

"The slightest of margins, the tiniest bits of bad luck."
