BOSTON - A clubhouse chef for the Boston Red Sox fell to his death from the sixth floor of a downtown parking garage early Sunday.

Bernie Logue, 30, worked for the team for two years, the Red Sox said. He was the primary chef in the clubhouse, meaning he cooked for the players.

``The preliminary investigation suggests it's accidental,'' officer John Boyle said.

The team held a moment of silence Sunday before the first game of a doubleheader against Seattle.

``He's part of our family,'' infielder Kevin Millar told New England Sports Network after Boston's 6-3 victory in the opener. ``It was tough to get ready for this game.''

From MLB.com

BOSTON -- It didn't take Kevin Millar long to realize something serious had happened after walking into the Red Sox clubhouse Sunday morning.



The first baseman, along with his teammates, would learn soon after arriving at Fenway that tragedy had struck overnight as 30-year-old clubhouse attendant Bernie Logue died after falling from the sixth floor of a downtown Boston parking garage.

"I came walking into the clubhouse and had no clue and usually I'm a little loud," said a subdued Millar in between games of Sunday's doubleheader. "It just makes you sit back and think that why are we here."

Logue was with Millar and several Red Sox players at the Celtics' Game 7 loss to the Pacers on Saturday night at the FleetCenter.

"We were watching the Celtics game in the same suite," Millar said. "When something like this happens, you hear what a great person he was. But Bernie truly was a tremendous human being and he is part of our family."

Logue joined the Red Sox clubhouse staff at the start of the 2004 season and became the primary clubhouse chef, preparing meals for the team.

"This kid was a unique kid," Red Sox clubhouse operations manager Joe Cochran said. "He ran our food room. If players had children, they felt comfortable leaving them with Bernie. I really can't say more than enough good things about this kid."

Millar was eager to try.

"This kid was awesome," Millar said. "He quit an office job and probably took a huge pay cut but this was the greatest thing. He enjoyed coming to the Red Sox stadium and helping us and it's a tremendous shock to all of us."

"In a short time, Bernie had become a very popular figure in our clubhouse," Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein said. "He was a very kind person who always had a smile on his face."

Logue is survived by his parents Daniel and Phyllis of West Roxbury, Mass., and his sister Elaine.

"On behalf of the ownership, management and players of the Boston Red Sox, we send our deepest sympathy to Bernie's family," Epstein said. "They are in our thoughts and prayers." Mike Petraglia is a contributor to MLB.com

Millar, you can't be serious....

100 million people are worried about a runaway bride from Georgia, but Millar can't feel down because someone he meets everyday actually DIED?

BIG SIGH

Sherman: You ain't that far off. All that country*ss Millar is worried about, is that the dude that kept him in those XXL jerseys, filling him full of free vittles is now gone. Yes, it's a bad thing what happened to Bernie Logue. But calling Millar a professional ball player is a disgrace.

JUST a clubhouse attendant dying is ok, I guess

Orwell said it, so let me repeat it:

"Everyone is equal. Some are more equal than others"

A DEATH IS A DEATH and BASEBALL IS JUST A FREAKING GAME.

Does it matter if the guy was a centerfielder or the clubhouse attendant?

yes it matters......if a usher at Fenway died and the players had little interaction with them, and they said they had a hard time getting up for the game, thats not a problem?


again, i conceded because i didnt realize Millar hung out with this guy.......
