## Resource

On June 24, 1946, a horrific bus crash on Snoqualmie Pass killed nine Spokane Indians baseball players and injured six others—making it the deadliest sports tragedy in professional history. The team, traveling after a game, plunged down a mountainside in a collision that also claimed the lives of many WWII veterans. Eighty years later, the Spokane Indians honored the victims with a solemn moment of silence before a game, ensuring their legacy endures. Kelly Timothy, granddaughter of pitcher Milt Cadinha—who narrowly escaped by driving separately—attended, underscoring the personal ties to this tragedy. With the last survivor passing in 2007, each anniversary grows more poignant, reminding us of life’s fragility and the enduring power of sports history.
