Here you go Joe,
Some of you might know Marti as a coach from the Red Hot's, or to others as the coach who always wore flip flops and windpants...even in 100 degree weather. But others may know him as Connie Isle's brother. He has been coaching softball for 14 years, and at times coaching when he didn't have a daughter or family on the team. He's been a Red Hots coach for the past 9 years and a coach for the Texas Aces for the past year. We recently learned that Marti has been diagnosed with Liver Cancer.
Some of the softball families in the surrounding Houston area are putting together a benefit softball tournament for Marti. ALL the proceeds will go to Marti to help with medical expenses. Let's give back to someone who has given ALOT to Softball in the Houston area for years.
Date: February 25-27
Location: Deer Park Girls Softball Complex (and possibly other complexes)
Entry fee: $150
If you are unable to play and would like to send a donation, please make checks payable to Marti Miranda and mail to 11426 Avenue North, Texas City, Texas 77591.If anyone in the softball community would like to help with the tournament, such as getting donations or helping with set-up, please contact one of the following:
