8.) 2010 Los Angeles Angels first round pick outfielder Ryan Bolden, 23, was shot to death on Wednesday, December 17, after an altercation broke out in his apartment complex in Georgia.

10.) “There is always a jolt when a part of your routine that you enjoy is suddenly and unexpectedly taken away from you. That was Frank for me. When I went to Bonita football games Frank was always there to greet me with a warm hug and if needed a “I missed you last week”. I now realize that I have taken my friendship with Frank for granted because he was so easy to be counted on, and by the next season so will many others. Make no mistake, Frank will be greatly missed. My condolences to the family.”—MVS commenter “Bobby Knight” on the passing of Bonita/La Verne icon Frank Castro.
