The 22-year-old St. Louis Cardinals and his girl friend, Edilia Arvelos, were killed in a car accident in his native Dominican Republic on Oct. 26. His 2014 Chevrolet Camaro ran off a highway about 215 miles north of Santo Domingo and hit a tree. Considered one of the league's top prospects, Taveras had just completed his first year in the major leagues, finishing with a .239 batting average, 22 RBIs and three homeruns in 80 games.
