SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) -- Former San Francisco Giants shortstop Jose Uribe was killed early Friday in a car crash in his native Dominican Republic.

The Dominican National Police said the 47-year-old Uribe's sport utility vehicle crashed about 3 a.m. on a highway about 30 miles west of the capital, Santo Domingo. Police said the cause of the crash was under investigation.

His son, Juan Uribe, plays shortstop for the Chicago White Sox.

It's a sad day for some of the older Giants fans. When the Giants were coming into town on the road, people would know the shortstop. Decent player with great recognition. It's a shame.
