Seattle Mariners outfielder Greg Holman was stabbed to death in Rotterdam, Netherlands early Monday and police arrested his brother as a suspect.

Police were called to a home in the city in the early morning hours and found Holman bleeding from a stab wound. Officers and paramedics were unable to save him. He was only 24 years old.

Holman hit .230 in 35 games here in Seattle with the Mariners and played all three outfield positions in 2011. He was sent down to the minors late in the season.

Greg was born in a city called Haarlem and played in the Dutch Pro League. This is a terrible terrible story of a young baseball player with a lot of talent.

During my visits to Safeco Field last season I did not get a chance to meet him and interview him for “Sports Inner City Online” Now I wish I had. Our prayers go out to his family and it is a terrible loss for the Seattle Mariner organization.   Gordon Curvey
