On that day, we also lost a member of the college baseball community. John Altobelli, his daughter Alyssa, and his wife Keri were also on that helicopter. John was the head baseball coach at Orange Coast College for 27 seasons, the longest tenure in school history. One of his surviving children is JJ Altobelli and he is a scout for the Boston Red Sox organization. Please join us in supporting John's family through a GoFundMe organized by the Red Sox Director of Scouting Paul Taboni. Our prayers are with all of the families affected by this tragedy. | | FUTURES LEAGUE | | Registration to play in the Futures League is now open!
