New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle died after a small aircraft he owned crashed into a high-rise building on the east side of Manhattan on Wednesday afternoon.I'm sure most of you heard about this yesterday, but I wanted to pay my respect and acknowledge Mr. Lidle. I wish his friends and family the best during this shocking and difficult time. Life is precious. May he rest in peace.
George Steinbrenner, who owns the baseball club, confirmed Lidle's death and offered condolences the player's family.
"This tragedy has stunned the entire Yankees organization. I offer my deepest condolences and prayers to his wife Melanie, and son Christopher, on their enormous loss," Steinbrenner said in a statement.
Lidle's passport was found in the street below the crash. Federal Aviation Administration records also show that the plane was registered to the athlete, who got his pilot's license earlier this year during the off-season.
The crash also killed another person who has yet to be named, according to reports.
