Authorities in Florida are investigating the death of one of baseball's best young players, the Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez, who was killed in a boating accident in Miami Beach early Sunday.
Jose Fernandez's grandmother attended the Miami Marlins' opener and saw him pitch for the first time since he left Cuba at age 15.
Olga Fernandez, who lives in Cuba, sat behind the Marlins Nation dugout for victory over Colorado. She wore a Marlins uniform with her grandson's No. 16, and above that was the word "abuela" - Spanish for grandmother.
