Passionate About Motivating Kids to Enjoy the Game of Baseball!

     Another day of training at Campbell High School.  It was hot, I got sunburned, went home tired, but I loved every minute of it!  Several of my former players from Osborne High School joined me from down the street on Windy Hill Rd.  Spent the day teaching these fine young men what it takes to get better.  
     I will give it all I've got with all my heart to help these players that are totally committed to improve.  Fowlkes Baseball will continually strive to carry on our 100 year tradition in memory of my father Doc Fowlkes, my brother Eddie Fowlkes, my sister Lynne Fowlkes Brady, and my wonderful mom, Gwen Fowlkes.  
     Thank you for your support and any donation would be greatly appreciated.

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.
