Frank L. Jones

Mr Frank Jones was really an uncommon man--reading much history, being drawn to such things as sociopolitical issues. With the New Orleans-Katrina disaster he had much to say.

Maybe the story that best expresses who he was--what he was all about--is that of him "making the team." Picked by a team of the old Negro Baseball League, he was despite his small stature, told to play the toughest field position there was, the "hot corner," 3rd base. It was a boyhood dream realized,...

To my dad,
A wonderful and loving man, but even a greater father, I love you and miss you everyday. I know you're playing ball for God in the "Hot Corner". I will be strong and continue your legacy of strength and compassion. I hope to start the Frank L. Jones humanitarian project in your honor, so kids can realize their dreams like you tried to do. Batter up.

Love you always,
Yolonda
