Pittsburgh Trib Live reporter Rob Biertempfel took notice of The Fund this week with his publication on February 21st in “Pirates Notebook” with “Walker Honors a Friend”:
While driving from Pittsburgh to Florida for spring training, Neil Walker made an important stop in Mount Pleasant, S.C. Clint Seymour, one of Walker’s best friends, died in April after being sucker punched and striking his head on concrete. Seymour, a Mt. Lebanon native, had moved to South Carolina six months earlier. Walker is vice president of the Clint Seymour Play Ball Fund. Walker’s visit to Mount Pleasant, where he spoke to youth league players, coincided with the fund’s launch. “The overall objective is to either rehabilitate a facility or (establish) a field in Clint’s honor,” Walker said. To raise money for the fund, Walker plans to conduct a youth baseball camp Aug. 6 in Pittsburgh. He still is putting together the details but expects to hold it somewhere in the South Hills.
