Philly Heartbreaker: Dallas Green's Anguish

All of Philadelphia is mourning the senseless loss of little Christina Green.
Here's part of a story from the Philadelphia Daily News:

"I can't believe my princess is gone." That's what former Phillies manager Dallas Green told the team's general manager, Ruben Amaro Jr., over the phone yesterday while en route to Arizona, reacting to the murder of his 9-year-old granddaughter.

Christina Green was killed in the hail of bullets in the assassination attempt on U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords on Saturday as she waited in line to meet the congresswoman in Tucson, Ariz.
It was a stunning and tragic end to a life that began just hours after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, a coincidence that led Christina to be picked to represent Pennsylvania in a book of 9/11 babies called Faces of Hope.
