Longview was home for 5 years. The people and the grit of the region have stayed in my soul ever since.

Hoping the Cowlitz baseball community can enjoy a clinic with proceeds benefiting kids who lost their fathers in last week’s tragedy.

I’ll never forget the sheer horror I felt watching that ball sail past our first baseman. Next guy up was the dude who had the only 2 hits I’d allowed all game too. 🥲
