Your infectious laugh and ever-present smile couldn't hide the fierce competitor you were every time you played for the Brewers. You came as a pitcher this year but with your clutch hits and fearless slide into home you left a legacy as an all around star. Everyone who knows you will miss you. The Border City Brewers will miss you.
