On the evening of February 1, we held a clinic for the baseball program of Urban Impact Pittsburgh, a charity we are honored to support. We met some of the most respectful, attentive, and engaging youth we have had the privilege to encounter in the fulfillment of our mission. In addition to loyal volunteers Neil Walker, Andy Goff, and Jeff Elias (with Patt McCloskey on the DL), we were joined by former Major Leaguers Don Kelly and Tom Walker, and reunited with Mike Carlin, each of whom loved every minute of the evening and were soooo popular with the youngsters. More magic. More smiles. Photos courtesy of Brian Seymour.
Musings/Current Events...
Roberto Clemente Museum Event
On January 14 Don Seymour and Neil Walker hosted pairs of Big and Little Brothers and Sisters and Tom Baker form that organization’s leadership. What a day, escorted by Duane Reeder, the founder, owner (and curator) of the museum. This is an under-publicized Pittsburgh asset. By the way, it attracts visiting MLB players when in town for a series with the Pirates. The Bigs and Littles were both inspired and inspiring as usual.
