On Monday, a bag of baseballs autographed by Jose Fernandez, who died in a boating accident on Sunday, was found on the shore of Miami Beach.

A black bag containing the baseballs, as well as Fernandez's checkbook, were turned in by a beachgoer to a lifeguard stationed close to the accident site that claimed the pitcher and two other people, Emilio Macias, and Eduardo Rivero.

The objects found were confirmed by Ocean Rescue division chief Vincent Canosa.

Fernandez was honored by the Miami Marlins during an emotional contest Monday against the New York Mets.
