Re: RIP: Yankee minor league manager, team official killed in car crash

I added the "RIP" part to the beginning of the thread in hopes that people not think it's just another baseball thread.

I wish I didn't have to report this, but facts are just that, even if very sad.

IN TRIBUTE: Cashman and owner George Steinbrenner were two of the Yankee bigwigs at the funeral service yesterday for Oscar Acosta, the manager of the Yanks' Gulf Coast League team who was killed in a car accident along with Yankee official Humberto Trejo in the Dominican Republic last week. The service took place in Safety Harbor, Fla., near Tampa, where Acosta lived with his family. The service for Trejo is slated for tomorrow in Venezuela.
