[edit] Inadvertent vandalism fix?

User:67.52.255.126 added that Gomes "kiiled his best friend in a car accident", so I researched it. As it turned out, when he was 16, he and his best friend were BOTH in the backseat of a car driven by two girls (presumably their girlfriends, I guess) that slammed into a telephone pole. Judging from the lack of source, and the guy's contribution history, I think it vandalism via distortion of facts.

They had a big piece today on Jonny Gomes at MLB.com, and I also found a Newsday article from a week ago, that also detailed his heart attack. That's where the stuff I added today largely comes from. --Kitch 22:58, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
