Not sure if this is truly Sox related, but some here might be interested to know. CNN headline:

 

Authorities say former San Francisco Giants shortstop Jose Uribe was killed early today in a car crash in his native Dominican Republic, The Associated Press reports.

For a split second I thought about posting this story and titling it "Uribe dead in car crash". Then I realized I enjoy my time here too much to lose it.

 

SFF

Good judgement on your part. :D

It hasn't happened recently around here, but for a good time when Uribe replaced Valentin you'd find someone calling Juan "Jose Uribe." Only reason I knew who he was before this accident.

 

I'm sure there are a lot of people browsing the internet today who believe our Uribe was the one killed.

ESPN News is stating that Jose Uribe was the father of Chicago White Sox SS Juan Uribe.

Wikipedia claims he's a distant relative.

 

I know that doesn't indicate anything conclusive, but I'd have to imagine most of the articles summarizing his death would have mentioned a relation if it were father/son.

We would, but no one understands his language so we would never know the answer.
