EMPOWER KIDS THROUGH BASEBALL & SOFTBALL

OUR INSPIRATION
 

Our son, brother, uncle and grandson Matt McConnell was an avid baseball player from a very young age. Baseball was in his blood. Matt enjoyed playing every position on the field, but catcher was his favorite. He played for his High School team in Stansbury Park, Utah. Many traveling teams and especially loved attending Rocky Mountain School of Baseball. Matt loved being a part of a team, having fun and making memories. His young life (17 years) was cut short due to a tragic Ice Fishing accident with his dad. Carbon Monoxide poisoning took their lives. We hope to keep his memory alive and continue his legacy through our foundation. Matt #12 Forever #17 will always be our Angel In The Outfield.
