Jose Fernandez's grandmother sees him pitch for the first time

[@michaelm9519]

saw him at the airport a few days ago , he stopped and shook my hand despite being busy and me not being a marlins fan. cant believe this talented young man is gone. R.I.P. thanks for taking the time to chat with a baseball fan.

[@leahlyn1596]

Wow, what a man

[@yayezoh]

[@Mexicanita1904]

Now I'm crying for his mother & grandmother. How much pain they must be in right now with his loss. :-(

[@PabloCruise91]

Fuuuuuck. This really breaks my heart.

[@wifeofpablo9366]

Liz Castro NOT with his girlfriend. He had a baby in the way with a side girl.

[@peytonkennedy9490]

I'm glad his grandmother was able to see him pitch before he passed.

[@IcyVegeta]

Wow. I'm a grown man, this made me cry like I haven't in a long time. RIP Jose. You will be missed. never forgotten.

[@shawnmurphy3331]

Me too!

[@ransetrodriguez7387]

Rip te recordaremos Hermano ranset

[@krazydudegamvids]

This sums up perfectly who Jose was as a person. Rest in peace.

[@ElliottAS]

I knew Jose was a special pitcher and had an amazing arm. What i didn't know was how close he was with his grandmother. I cried watching this.

[@NicolePoliskey]

What a beautiful Video, what a loss to not only baseball but humanity. God Bless his family xoxo

[@cmgAndy1222]

hes talent was grandma's gift. RIP my man

[@mlilien]

Although I despised seeing you destroy my Mets, you were, without a doubt one of the greatest pitchers today. I thought I would never say this, but I wish I could see you destroy my Mets again. RIP Jose. :(

[@bklynzcoco]

mrmftw same here bro same here bro Still here years after his death Man he was young Sad video always gets me

[@jackrockwell6698]

The story of him jumping into the water to save a person and then finding out it was his mom is amazing.

[@bradleymartin4848]

This breaks my heart so much. My grandmother means so much to me. I miss you Jose & the joy you brought to baseball. Fly high buddy. She's always here with you. We miss you buddy. 😞❤️❤️

[@aepr84]

[@floboyj1284]

[@mt8073]

Even though I am not a baseball fan, I am sad to see such a young talented and cool guy lost his life. Bravo to the Marlins Chairman for surprised him with his grandma here. R.I.P. Jose Fernandez.

[@natewallacegaming]

Usually I don't get to upset when celebrities/Athletes pass away but this one really hit me. I wish his family the best. R.I.P

[@msstealyourman4563]

Nate S espically since he had a baby on the way

[@wifeofpablo9366]

Nate S I car when celebrities pass. I have no idea who this is. A marlin baseball player but I get sad when celebrities pass away.

[@73KHS]

Thoughts and prayers go out to Jose's family, friends and the Miami Marlins. RIP Jose Prayers for the families of the other two that also lost their lives.

[@CCGAnubys]

Rest easy my friend. Every Cuban in the states owes you. Thank you for being our role model and representing us in such an amazing way. Rest In Peace.

[@benruiz1009]

This man is hands down one of my favorite pitchers OF ALL TIME, HEARING THE NEWS THAT HE PASSED AWAY, WAS SO DAMN HEARTBREAKING. HONESTLY JOSE FERNANDEZ WILL FOREVER BE IN EVERYONES HEART.

[@TheTommyKeavy]

I seriously cannot believe how heartbroken his family is, If I teared up..This kid was going to be phenomenal...such a tragedy.. Rest in peace, kid.. thank you for your strength for your family.

[@ViperRob]

RIP you amazing angel. Thank you for everything, we've lost a giant talent today. All of the MLB mourns this devastating loss, thoughts with his family and pregnant girlfriend

[@homiefromfl]

Not gonna lie. As soon as grandma walked in the door and I saw his face, I lost it. Broke down. So heartbreaking to know how his life ended, in such a tragic, almost ironic way. R.I.P. to one of the greatest Marlins, and one of the greatest ever in baseball. A life and career cut incredibly short...

[@sheek7010]

RIP you were a true hero and inspiration😪😥🙏🙏

[@34SUL111CIL444]

Que tremendo dolor para esa abuela y esa madre, se veia cuanto se querian.para nosotras las abuelas , los nietos son nuestros amadisimos hijos tambien, nuestros hijos mas pequenos. Que Dios les de el Consuelo que tanto necesitan y las ayuden a poder superar este gran dolor. Amen

[@adrianlalljeejr7650]

When his grandmother walked in, he smiled and said "oh". Man I cried right there, R.i.p Papa we love you

[@williamhook4494]

Feel for the grandma man😓 RIP Fernandez

[@bruin9507]

Wow, RIP to one of the best pitchers ever.

[@maximooses5702]

Yeah I was at the game last night it really sucks that he died. I loved watching him pitch.

[@maximooses5702]

Rip

[@Dietfreakable]

wow you saw the last moments of his life

[@lj3507]

One of the best pitchers ever? Let's not get carried away. RIP, though.

[@roberthudson1959]

How about inserting the word "young" before "best pitchers ever?" He was spectacular, especially when you realize that two of his four seasons were injury-marred, but we can't know what might have been.

[@kylekruse8618]

I got to visit the Miami Marlins organization up close after being a long time season ticket holder. While walking down the hallway at like 6:30, Jose came by, stopped and just started walking and talking with me. He talked about how great it was to be in the MLB. There was no fanboying with Jose. In fact, when he went you, YOU felt like the celebrity.

[@solaig5016]

Jose Fernandez was an amazing pitcher and he had such a bright and happy outlook on life. He was such a funny man who was always there to brighten the mood at a game. RIP we all miss you

[@carbajal8283]

This is heart wrenching. Only other time I cried when an athlete died was when Oscar Taveras passed away (I'm a Cardinals fan). My wife woke me up Sunday to the news that Jose passed away because she knew I'm a big fan of his. I had to fight back tears. That whole morning was so unreal to me. This video brought me to tears and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Jose was so full of life and a genuine human being. Not to mention he was a one in a million talent. Anytime I watched him pitch, it was like a privilege. I knew I was watching greatness. Still can't believe he's gone. RIP Jose Fernandez. You will forever have a special place in the heart of this Cardinals fan, and I'm sure with the rest of Cardinals nation as well.

[@tgunzz3790]

This broke my heart, can't watch any more. Dude was so young and had such a bright future. RIP

[@OPTICXPROTOTYPE]

one of my favorite players in the entire league. I am a dodgers fans and constantly hoped we would trade for him. RIP champ

[@alexfilms7622]

I'm Rangers fan from Arlington but you were one of my favorite pitchers Jose I watched this video 2 years ago and dam this is so sad to watch now. RIP Jose Fernandez :(

[@manudassault3547]

So, so sad. Such a great guy in every way. RIP campeón!

[@TheCatloverof3]

My heart is so heavy.....such a big heart. So young, handsome, talented, beautiful heart. He didn't deserve this along with his two friends. I'm in tears watching. He had so much love for his mom and grandma. I can't imagine the tremendous pain they are going through.😭😭😭😭. God bless you Jose. Rip. 😭

[@cameronfrenier8013]

Poor man I am crying so much R.I.P jose. U will be missed all my heart to ur family love u man rest in peace

[@kevinwhite7659]

Don't know how the family could go from such a feeling of love and relief to such a pain. So sad. I send my prayers and I can't wait to wear 16 for my whole highschool career for him. RIP Jose.

[@polarhero57]

R.I.P. Man, this guy had such a bright future. Huge shame that this has happened. Even though I am not a Marlins fan, I will still respect the team at this moment.

[@HectorAguilarRE]

Breaks my heart that we lost such a great grandson...and an overall good guy. Gone too Soon because of bad choices. Lesson to be learned for those that look up to professional players. RIP Fernandez, you are certainly missed.

[@deadst4r]

Could barely hold back tears the first time I saw this two years ago. Don't think I can keep it back now.

[@brittanycarlin9513]

idk if it just me but whenever i replay seeing the words that he has passed i just cry does anyone else do tht wonder how his family feeeling they are at the bottom thou he was gonna win like 5 ws rings 10 cy youngs and have 7 no hitters thtt is how good he is

[@LASER272]

I'm right along with you.

[@brittanycarlin9513]

ok so I think everyone does it it just doesn't seem real like a dream was it this bad when Oscar Taveras died

[@brittanycarlin9513]

what a story idk if I or anyone is ever gonna get over it

[@brittanycarlin9513]

idk how he really died Cuz the boat on the rocks only way he could've died is if the boat hit the rocks and they all cracked their heads open or something no beer or drugs involved either

[@OreoChipMonster]

"this is better than being in the big leagues, this is better than winning for me" Just being with your family and he is so happy to have his grandma with him. R.I.P.

[@papalovesspaghetti9902]

50 years of watching baseball I don't recall a player who's high level of talent equaled his passion for the game. Shocking.

[@thehigherbrilliance]

thank you Jose for everything viva Cuba ! viva Miami ! viva los Marlins and may your legacy live on forever brother ! you'll be surely missed jdf #16 much love

[@breezxy9420]

RIP Jose Fernandez I can't imagine how your Grandma is feeling

[@barrywoods6056]

RIP Jose, I cant imagine how heart broken your family is. You seemed like a really nice guy. May the good Lord look over your mother and grandma during this tough time.

[@simone233]

This is so heartbreaking. Praying for their family. I always say, sometimes it's better to be blessed with an awesome son, father, mother etc. for a short time than an average one for longer. He seems to have been an awesome blessing to his family!

[@edwinhernandez5749]

Can't even hold tears back. love and prayers To Fernandez #RIP smh

[@jesusshuttlesworth4124]

This is really hard to watch and it hit me so hard. I have the same love for my grandmother she took me in as a baby and seeing how happy he got when he saw her just makes me cry. He was such an amazing guy. The whole world misses him. There wont be another guy who's as humble as Jose was. R.I.P Jose 🙏🏼

[@leroyjohnson8025]

man, that family is extra close. To say they are mortified, is a gross understatement. What a horrible loss

[@bradleymartin4848]

Being raised by my grandmother, this is one of the most heartbreaking things.. my grandmother used to love watching me play ball.. i hate so much that this amazing, strong, brave woman, cannot see this young man pitch anymore... after everything him & his family had been through. I loved watching this man pitch.. it was like nothing I’d ever seen. I pray that his grandmother & family members have been able to find peace. I couldn’t imagine losing a child. 😞😢 R.I.P. Jose.. ❤️❤️

[@murkincl69]

May God Bless you along with the other two gentleman . May god also provide strength to their families , daughter along with all of the fans , especially from Miami. Truly saddened . Love from NJ 💙🙏🏻

[@20killershot]

Today is such a sad day. It's hard to accept the fact that he's gone. So young and so talented full of life. We will never get to see his full potential and that to me is the most heart breaing aspect because it was such a joy to see him pitch. Last Performance 8 shut out innings 12 strike outs vs the Nationals. RIP

[@DARTHTORO99]

Was just watching this last night and now I wake up to this terrible story, RIP José you had a bright future and you're gone too quick. Condolences to the Fernandez family

[@Alejandromichael84]

OMG. I love this so much - I cried like a baby boy. He was a family man - he put them first, above ANYTHING else. He was truly a real man. What a sad story.

[@P_double_H]

Not true, he left his family alone among lawsuits and conflicts because of his irresponsible behavior.

[@bartologoat7101]

This guy was a future hall of famer. His love for the game was unbelievable, he had a great career ahead of him and at the young age of 24 he was already a great pitcher. I hope that the Marlins retire his number. RIP Jose Fernandez

[@TheMiamirep]

Such a heart-felt story! Go Marlins! Have a successful surgery Josè!

[@abermudes]

#RIPJose. Truly one of the brightest young stars in baseball. Such a tragic loss to his family and to baseball. As a Dodgers fan I admired his talent & secretly wished he was on our team. Condolences to his mama, abuela & his Marlins teammates.

[@carlosolivas5104]

This man represented the sport well and with such humility, such a shame it ended so terribly. My condolences to all his loved ones, the team and the fans.

[@golferx222]

RIP, what a great guy. I hope his family and girlfriend can find some sort of peace. I cant imagine what they are going through.

RIP...what a talent and human being...he was on pace to become one of the greatest pitchers ever...2.58 ERA, 11.3 K/9, 69% winning pct on a team with 45% winning pct...my condolences to his family.

[@ed1476]

I'm so sorry for his family. I love that he was so humble. It makes me cry to think of her mom and grandmother. I did not know him like that I'm a rangers fan but his number were great this year. RIP Jose

[@debrabolton6475]

He endured so much to only die so young and tragically. Rest in peace, Jose. You were a wonderful young man. So touching to see his reunion with his grandmother. She must be so sad. My heart goes out to her.

[@aaguilar0925]

RIP bro! Makes me miss my abuelas like crazy.

[@Gulky]

[@jakkobg1981]

Jose mijo, que en Paz descanses donde quiera que estes. Increible una historia tan bonita con un final tan triste, pareciera que es un mal sueno. No hay forma de entender esto, lo unico que se puede decir para aquellos muchachos que alcanzan fama y dinero que aprendan que nadie es inmortal and shit happens. RIP Jose.

[@tommyzufelt3174]

I am a mariner fan who very much loves my mom grandma and sister above everyone else and I couldn't imagine how that family is feeling right now. He gave everything to be in the majors and it is so sad to see his career cut short. But that's not nearly it, his girlfriend is pregnant with a baby daughter. His daughter won't get to know the amazing person he was and to me that is the part that breaks my heart the most. And to the girlfriend, I hope you stay strong, for Jose will always be with you.R.I.P Jose Fernandez.

[@humblecris5825]

Coming from a Dodgers fan. I really gotta say I got mad respect for Fernandez #16 to begin with. Making the sacrifice to leave his family for a better and successful future was a hard decision to make. Glad he realized his talent at a young age. It takes a real man like Fernandez #16 to not only make such unthinkable decisions and huge sacrifices but most importantly to achieve them successfully with only his early childhood as support and the memories as mental strength. Sorry for your loss Marlins. RIP Jose Fernandez #16
