piratesportsmom Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 :'( Hard to believe the baseball community has lost such a great man. We first met Obie many years ago through Pony Baseball and just saw him a few weeks ago at a Varsity game. He was a great guy who will be missed by all who knew him. My prayers to his family as they go through this difficult time. May God Bless You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
