It's been almost a month since the tragic death of Cardinals' prospect Oscar Taveras. The 22-year-old died in a car accident in his native Dominican Republic, along with his girlfriend, Edilia Arvelos. Fans have shown their support to Taveras' family in the weeks since the accident, however, and the family has now taken over Oscar Taveras' Twitter account to thank those fans for all they have done and tried to do during a difficult time.

It’s upsetting all over again to see this, but also touching that people care so much -- and that it seems to be doing something for the family during a time of need.
