Lou the Baseball Guy

Hi, my name is Jerry My close friend Lou passed away this week He was a very avid and knowledgeable baseball guy People were amazed when they talked baseball with Lou He knew all about the players their stats, their strengths and weakness He taught the fundamentals of the game when coaching all ages of kids He had the a special talent that he could spot a kid with a special trait for baseball Lou always had positive encouragement for his players And you could see him give them a pat on the back for their performance Lou saw one of his dreams come true that was a summer college league He was a scout for Detroit Tigers and loved every minute of it I scouting he would scope out the cream of the crop He loved his family in his special was and was a man of few words He helped his children to be the best Big guy, you are now in your field of dreams I have a request that you hit one over the moon for old Q-Ball I will miss you and remember all the good times we had

Great eulogy for such a baseball man... High praises for Lou the baseball man.. You have done him the best of service.. Immortalised his gift in this poetry piece... Would have been great to swap stories... RIP Lou the baseball man but rest not his story...
