Sad to hear of this unfortunate news ,Matt always approached the game competitive,yet professional. It won't be the same knowing he won't be out there this year.I will miss him and what he brought to the game. Thanks Matt, as I go out there this year, you will always be in my heart and mind knowing you were a big part of why we have a baseball league here in Madison.
