Here is an initial report from CBS San Francisco (via Hardball Talk) and a subsequent one from The Associated Press.
I can’t imagine there’s any perspective to offer about the stabbing incident that 99 percent of you don’t already know.
Buy ‘The Catch: A novel’
What happens when three old friends in crisis fall into an unexpected love triangle? In The Catch, Maya, Henry and Daniel embark upon an emotional journey that forces them to confront unresolved pain, present-day traumas and powerful desires, leading them to question the very meaning of love and fulfillment. The Catch tells a tale of ordinary people seeking the extraordinary – or, if that’s asking too much, some damn peace of mind.

I do not understand why people will endanger their lives over an argument that is ultimately completely unimportant.

There’s no understanding irrational, emotion-driven, terrible decisions.

Just read about this on Google News, but I had to come here and read it before I believed it. Utterly pointless death, and very, very sad.

These sorts of things happen everyday I suppose, but when it baseball is somehow involved it just leaves me stunned.

Tragic and totally senseless as this is, it makes me think of the SF fan almost fatally mugged at DS last year.
Last I heard he was facing insurance limits as he continued to recover and was looking at having to be cared for at home. Anyone know more?

The San Francisco Medical Examiner identified the man as Jonathan Denver. Denver lived in Fort Bragg, according to his boss at North Coast Plumbing, who spoke to NBC Bay Area first about his
employee.
“He was a hardworking kid,” Cas Smith said by phone from Fort Bragg, a three hour drive north from San Francisco. “He made some mistakes in his life, but in the last 90 days, he had made a 180-degree turnaround.”
Smith called Denver a “nice, quiet kid” who was an apprentice plumber at the shop and not the type of
person to get involved in a fight.

As deplorable as this is, it’s highly unusual in American sports, and really rare in baseball. If you compare it with the organized gang violence in soccer – shootouts between different factions of the same team’s “fan base” in Buenos Aires, for instance – even this is relatively minor. It stands out for its rarity.
