There is a thread in those Golden which captures those days of baseball and death
In the Summer of 2003, one of the most wonderful people and college baseball teammates was killed as he and his Father drove from Houston to Austin after a Cubs/Astros game.
The 10th man award in the NECBL is named for that young man.
