RALPH SKINNER was one of the finest gentlemen I’ve ever known in my life ⚾️⚓️
As a baseball coach at Bearden High School for decades, playing at Farragut was always a challenge, but I knew that when Ralph came into our dugout an hour before the game to get our lineup, he would always walk in with a smile and a very friendly welcome and greeting. You always felt better after talking with Ralph Skinner.
Then, when he announced Starting Lineups over the Public Address system, Ralph would welcome our team in a genuine and caring manner.
Since I came to Farragut in 2020, I’ve been in the dugout with the Admirals Baseball team for every game ⚓️⚾️ That meant getting to visit with Ralph before each home game and every Post-Season game in May.
Ralph was a major part of the Admirals’ success. His final five seasons all ended with Farragut winning the State Championship. He will be remembered by everyone who knew him forever. Ralph will be missed by his amazing family, friends and the entire Admirals Baseball community.
Winston Churchill once said, “I am always satisfied with the very best”. RALPH SKINNER was the very best! ⚾️⚓️🏆

Caleb Van Lant (27, TN) takes the barrel to this low and in heater and he deposits it over the LF wall for a solo 💣! Turns it hard and pulls the hands inside. #WWBA@PG_Tennessee@PG_Uncommitted
