The private funeral for Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez, who died in a tragic boating accident Sunday, took place Thursday. With it came outpourings of emotions from several people, including the superstar's agent, Scott Boras.
Boras is known throughout baseball for his ruthless negotiating skills, ability to get his players top dollar, and for almost always having a stony expression when talking to the media. He broke character at the funeral when he began to cry while delivering a riveting eulogy for Fernandez.
