Yankees' Minor League Manager Dies
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2415088
Oscar Acosta managed the AAA Columbus team for the Yankees. Very sad that this happened, thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
Quote:
Acosta, Trejo die in accident in Dominican Republic
NEW YORK -- New York Yankees minor league manager Oscar Acosta and team official Humberto Trejo were killed in a car accident in the Dominican Republic, the New York Post reported Thursday.
Acosta, the manager of the Gulf Coast Yankees of the Rookie League, and Trejo, the Yankees' field coordinator in the Dominican, were killed in an accident on a highway outside of Santo Domingo on Wednesday night, the newspaper reported.
"Not much is known at this time," Mark Newman, head of the Yankees' minor league operations, told the newspaper.
Acosta, 49, was the pitching coach at Triple-A Columbus from 1996-98, and served in a similar capacity at the major league level with the Chicago Cubs and Texas Rangers. He was in his third year as manager of the Gulf Coast team, which he led to league championships the past two seasons.
Trejo, 38, was in his 16th season working for the Yankees, serving in a number of capacities, including as a manager, coach and coordinator of the team's Latin America player-development program.

Wow. Sad. Very sad. He's done a great job wit the kids down there the llast few seasons. Dont know much about the man, but i'm sure he was a good guy. He'll be missed by Yankee fans and the Yankee organization.

Re: Yankees' Minor League Manager Dies
Damn...horrible story. I hate the Yanks, but in situations like this, they're always a class organization. I'm sure Steinbrenner will make sure the families are taken care of. Thoughts and prayers with everyone involved.

Horrible news. Only at the age of 49, as well.
