Growing up in the Bay Area, I learned from an early age to not like anything “LA.” It was always hard for me to dislike Kobe though. You had to respect his game, commitment, and desire to succeed. Then I met @jalynnecrawford and found out he was her favorite athlete. I started paying closer attention to him and discovered that not only was he great on the court, but even better as a husband, father, businessman, filmmaker and overall person off the court. Still doesn’t seem real. RIP Kobe. Thoughts and prayers to all the families and everyone affected I can’t even begin to imagine the pain

#repost @bosco_baseball ・・・ Coach Barbara and St. John Bosco Baseball extend our deepest sympathizes to the entire Altobelli Family and OCC Baseball. The legacy Coach Alto has left on the baseball community is unmatched by any words that can be written. Our thoughts and prayers are with you ・・・ @occpirateathletics: It is with a shattered heart that we announce that longtime head baseball coach, John Altobelli, his wife, Keri and youngest daughter, Alyssa, were killed on Sunday in a helicopter crash that also took the life of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter and 5 others. Our deepest sympathies are with the Altobelli family and all those affected by yesterday’s tragedy.
