Hello everyone and welcome to the Minor League Ball Gameday! My apologies for the late publish. Late last night my 96 year old grandfather passed away and I didn't have much time to get this taken care of.
Today's Gameday will be in honor of him, a lifelong baseball fan from the streets of Philadelphia who shared his love and passion across the globe during his 30 years in the United States Army serving in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. He made a profound impact on my life and I cannot thank him enough. I love you Grandpa.
RIP
John Herbert Melotte
1919 - 2016
