Oscar Taveras (June 19, 1992 - October 26, 2014) On October 26, 2014, Taveras and his girlfriend, Edilia Arvelo, died in a car accident[38][39] on the Sosúa-Cabarete freeway in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.[40][41] His new red 2014 Chevrolet Camaro had gone off the road at a high rate of speed, hitting a tree.[42] Taveras suffered multiple injuries and was pronounced dead at Sosúa Cabarete Medical Center. Arvelo suffered injuries to the head and to the chest.[25] The accident occurred at 7:40 PM ET, just before the start of Game 5 of the 2014 World Series. Cardinals chairman William DeWitt, Jr. issued the following statement: We are all stunned and deeply saddened by the tragic loss of one of the youngest members of the Cardinals family. Oscar was an amazing talent with a bright future who was taken from us well before his time. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends tonight.[25] Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak made a statement, saying: I simply can’t believe it. I first met Oscar when he was 16 years old and will forever remember him as a wonderful young man who was a gifted athlete with an infectious love for life who lived every day to the fullest.[43] Cardinals manager Mike Matheny stated, "There is not a more accurate word ("love") for how a group of men share a deep and genuine concern for each other. We loved Oscar, and he loved us. That is what a team does. That is what a family does."[44] Commissioner of Baseball Bud Selig stated, "With heavy hearts, tonight we play Game 5 of the 2014 World Series in the memory of these two young people."
