Bag of baseballs signed by Fernandez washes ashore in Miami
On Monday, a bag of baseballs autographed by Jose Fernandez, who died in a boating accident on Sunday, was found on the shore of Miami Beach.
A black bag containing the baseballs, as well as Fernandez's checkbook, were turned in by a beachgoer to a lifeguard stationed close to the accident site that claimed the pitcher and two other people, Emilio Macias, and Eduardo Rivero.
