Today is a Sad day Corey Lidle New York Yankees pitcher dies in NYC Manhattan plane crash

Today, the plane Corey Lidle owned and piloted crashed into a Manhattan high-rise in New York.

We offer our prayers and condolences to the family, teammates, friends and fans of the New York Yankees pitcher who passed away today.

He always wanted to fly...just like every kid, I'm sure it was his dream

He had a huge desire to learn and took private lessons and in the off season.


He started the season pitching well in Philadelphia...
so well that the Yankees took notice and traded for the passionate pitcher.

Lidle was a winner and was always competitive
He finished this season with a winning record
and went out on top with a winning career. Lidle was 82-72.

Cory is survived by his wife and 6-year-old son Christopher.
