EDITOR, The Tribune.
I was elated to read in the papers that baseball will be officially introduced into the curriculum for the GSSSA this fall. This has been a long time coming, and those responsible should be commended.
Softball has long been a fixture in the GSSSA, but to my knowledge, scholarships are not offered to attend College in the United States.
This will now give our young men a chance to hone their skills at the high school level and enhance their chances to further their education at the College level, and maybe play professional baseball.
It is my hope that former professionals like Ed Armbrister, Fred “Papa” Smith and Eddie Ford to name a few be given a chance to lend their assistance and expertise to such a much needed programme.
