    Last night I heard some terrible news. A young man my son played Baseball with a few years ago is gone. I can't imagine the devastation of losing a child. You young players are not invincible. Life is precious. Please pray for this family.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with the Dimaggio family at this time.
    My son also played with Michael on Mega-Stars a few years back, my
    family was shocked by this news.

    R.I.P. MICHAEL

    This is an unbelievable loss and shock to the community. My son played with Michael at Crestdale Middle and Butler last year. Michael had a knack for occasionally destroying one at the plate. I know he played with the Megastars and had many friends and teammates. I can't get this off my mind.
    I pray for the Dimaggio family for healing and understanding during this difficult time.

    Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Dimaggio family. My son played with Michael on the Megastars a few years back too. Michael was a sweet kid.

    Michael was truly loved..............

    Many a Megastars game I sat close to Michael's family and "talked baseball" with them. Especially two sweet Italian ladies (his aunt and maybe his mother). They cheered and rooted constantly for Michael; they also cheered for the rest of the Megastars. They were always good company and enjoyable to be around. My, oh my how they loved that nice young man.

    God Bless them,

    I remember them as well, so supportive of Michael. That is why it hurts so much. Hug your children daily, love them unconditionally and be thankful for every day you have.....

    This was the 15u team Michael was on. He is behind the kid with the plaque.
