Mychael Urban's piece on Lidle's death

Sports journalism is a field where journalist/athlete friendships are a taboo, but in rare cases they do exist.  Writer Mychael Urban considers pitcher Cory Lidle a friend, and in this heartfelt piece he walks us through the emotions he felt on Wednesday, October 12, the day that Lidle trgically died in a plane crash.

"He was the least pretentious pro I've ever met. Probably the most honest, too -- even when he knew his honesty might get him in trouble."
