Remembering Mike Coolbaugh

[craigharmann]

It was a year ago that Mike Coolbaugh was tragically killed by a line drive. ESPN has this article about Mike's family. I've gotten to know a bit of the backstory, as Mike lived here in San Antonio, and got to know one of my buddies. Matt (my buddy) said that when he first met Mike, Mike NEVER talked about baseball. Matt didn't know that Mike played baseball. They talked about going into business together before Mike was killed. Please keep Mike's family in your thoughts and prayers as they're remembering the tragic anniversary of losing a husband, father and friend way too soon. And a real good guy, at that.

Sports Illustrated wrote an amazing, moving piece focusing on his wife and family. Great stuff, and a tearjerker.

 

It's worth looking up on their website. You get an idea of who the man was, and the really tough affect on his family.
