2020 Texas Prep Baseball "Pitcher of the Week" - 2
For this week we name our pitcher of the week recognition for Sam Brown. Sam was a Junior at Foster where he made his 1st and only Varsity appearance before becoming a victim of senseless violence. In his only Varsity appearance, Sam Brown pitched 3 innings giving up 2 hits, 1 run while striking out 0 and walking 4. But he numbers just don't matter. What matters is we had a brilliant young soul stolen from our community who deserved much better. Someone who had an immense affect on his friends and acquaintances as I witnessed from the 100's of emails, text messages, and tweets we received from those who he touched in some way. Quotes from teammates and friends sums it up the best;
"He was brought up to the team that day and later that night passed away. He was an amazing team player and a guy anyone would want around in any situation ever." "He worked hard for that moment and sadly had his future taken away."
"Sam Brown, a beloved friend and teammate at Foster High School, passed away last night." " He was an excellent pitcher and was moved up on Friday to pitch for the varsity team."
"He was a tremendous kid who had a lot going for him."
For week 2 of the 2020 Texas Prep Baseball season, we name our pitcher of the Week" honor in the name of Sam Brown.
The following are those nominated for week 2 who I'm sure are proud to share this Honor in the name of a fallen athlete from "Our Great Game" RIP SAM BROWN.
