Alex Vesia, pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is grieving the death of his baby daughter, Sterling Sol, who passed away shortly after the team announced he would miss the World Series.
“Our little angel we love you forever & you’re with us always. Our beautiful daughter went to heaven Sunday October 26th. There are no words to describe the pain we’re going through but we hold her in our hearts and cherish every second we had with her.”
