Christie Wood is a gem of the baseball community, and I'm gutted for her and Sarah Kate's loss. Christie’s husband, Kevin, unexpectedly passed away recently. If you're able to help out in any way, please do: gofund.me/538d9ff51

The initial goal was after her first stroke & was only with a bathroom remodel in mind (tub ➡️ walk-in shower). Now that things have changed drastically, there will be medical bills and funeral costs. Please share or donate, if you’re able. Thank you. ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

My mom is the best. She worked at the same elementary school for 35 years & impacted so many families in our community. In the last month, she’s had several strokes & was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Shes now in hospice & our family could use help. ❤️ gofundme.com/f/support-ann-…

I’m sorry to hear this about a fellow Tar Heel. In my old gig at BA, talking to Roy was a pleasure, including deciphering fact from fiction (he excelled at subterfuge). Few scouts enjoyed players more. He couldn’t contain himself sometimes, & I loved his passion and storytelling.

Roy Clark, one of the most successful and respected scouts baseball has ever known, passed away at his Atlanta home last night. He was responsible for drafting and signing Wainwright, McCann, Francoeur, Morton, Heyward, Freeman, Kimbrel and many others. He was a great man.

When I told him why I was calling, he put the phone down, got up to close the door, and when he came back, he couldn’t contain himself. “What a player! He dominated all weekend at the plate, then got on the bump and sat 95!” His excitement couldn’t be contained. He loved players.

Quick Roy Clark story. In 2001 I was wrapping up a college baseball weekend of coverage and @GTBaseball coach Danny Hall told me how impressed he was by Kent State’s @JohnnyVanBee & mentioned Clark had been there. I called Roy, I belief in his office at Turner Field, …

RIP, Roy. Always enjoyed talking to him, he could tell a story & was up on all the latest draft gossip. Tremendous scout who played a large role in the Braves' extended success.

Quick one of my own... We were watching Carlos Rodon rip off some nasty sliders for NC State. He turns to me and asks how to spell Rodon. Me: R-O-D... Roy: Nope. C-A-R-L-T-O-N

@johnmanuelNC Yup! All six of them were in the bigs simultaneously from 2020-2022. Pretty nuts. Four of them still are there together now

Jordan Walker's cleats recognizing the #STLCards scout, Charles Peterson, who was credited with signing Walker as an amateur out of Georgia. Peterson died due to complications from Covid-19 the fall after Walker was drafted. They include a picture of Walker and Peterson.

Kyle’s story is one of those fun HS stories with all these famous names in it. Reminds me of @NathanRode & @conorglassey writing about Daniel Norris, Nick Senzel & others in eastern TN in 2011 … gotta find that story!
Kyle Glaser@KyleAGlaser

This is fun. Holman was the star of the 2013 Little League World Series and went on to a standout career at Eastlake High (where he was teammates with Marcelo Mayer) and Cal. Now, he’s a big leaguer. I wrote about him here a few years ago baseballamerica.com/stories/grant-…
