TPS, Like you , I thought he was already inducted...way too long, for someone of his ability, not only as a Player, but as a Person.... I am happy for his Family and Friends

What a great speech by his sister! If that doesn’t bring a tear in the eye and bring back memories for any little leaguer at our advanced ages, I don’t know what will. I wish all kids of every background had this kind of commitment from their parents during their formative years. His sister painted a beautiful picture of a family committed to providing support for their children and Frank’s fun outlook on sports was a reflection of that.

I thought the same thing. Their parents were so instrumental in Frank’s success. Katie really told a great story there. Frank would be proud for sure!
