The tragic events in Las Vegas yesterday have affected countless people around the world, and it has hit the Sports world pretty hard as well.
Yesterday, athletes, teams and media members reacted to the attack, but today we have heard some of the chilling stories from people at the festival. We heard the story of two baseball players putting on courageous performances after losing friends at the shooting and now we hear of a baseball player that was actually at the event.
TMZ posted a report with screenshots of two women that met Brewers’ prospect Bubba Derby at the festival and stated that he actually shielded them from gunfire at the time of the attack. He also spoke about the event himself.
That’s an incredible story and incredible praise for this young man. There is no true positive to come out of this event, but the stories that come from them can at least help restore some faith in humanity. Kudos to Bubba because there aren’t many people that would be able to maintain that level of composure in such a terrifying event.
