Osborne's Jacob Runnels & Campbell's Zach Rozier
Cobb County defeated the Atlanta Public Schools 9-3 in the 2nd annual L.E.A.D. All-Star Baseball Classic at SunTrust Park on Saturday, June 3. The winning team was represented by two players that I had the pleasure of coaching the last three years. Osborne Cardinals' graduate Jacob Runnels and Campbell Spartans' graduate Zach Rozier.
Zach helped the Cobb County team by throwing out a runner stealing, scoring a run, and catching 3 different pitchers. He will further his education at the University of Georgia after an outstanding academic and athletic career at Campbell. Jacob ended the game, and his high school career, with an unassisted putout at first base. There's only one way to describe this young man after being the head coach at Osborne last year. He will be remembered as one of the most likable players in the history of Cobb County baseball.
Good luck to both of you and thanks for the memories!

As Jeff Frye puts it, the #shegone nation is growing! "People all over the country are on board with our mission to get back to old school baseball!"
What is a Hitting Guru? Why is the Guru named Judy? How did a former major leaguer become buddies with my 11 year old son?
So let me tell you his story. Stan is a huge advocate and supporter of Fowlkes Baseball! The Fowlkes family really owes him a boatload of gratitude.
I'll admit it. I committed a sin! I did something that no other youth baseball coach has ever done. Are you ready for this? I didn't stall.

The son of Tony and Julie became a star the other day. I met mom, dad, and Braylon a few years ago, when they played on the same team that I was helping to coach.
Mom would have been 90 this year, dad 95.
But the spring of 2020, whew… what a year to be alive.
I almost decided not to go to the doctor on Monday morning, September 12, 2005. What if I didn't? I wouldn't be here today!
A few days before my first ever Fowlkes Baseball/End of Summer/Back to School/Sandlot Baseball Game, I was told about an incident that occurred recently at the 2019 Dizzy Dean World Series in Southaven, Mississippi.
