DESTINATION: Omaha - Day 4

Omaha is the place to be for the best in College Baseball. The destination is common, the path in getting here is different. Such the case for Logan McCarty. It was just last week that young Logan was enjoying the last weekend at The Box. It was just last week that he was enjoying that time with his father. It was just last week that his father left this place. Enjoying his true passion, Curt McCarty passed away from a heart attack. At time where fans should be enjoying the team's success, Logan and his mom, Marilyn, had to bury their treasured love one.

Word got to us of this sad moment in time. A devoted fan and father falling ill and passing away at a baseball game. You might think that this isn't a story. But a father's wish made it a memorable one. Before the game, Curt told Logan of plans he had for them if the team should win. "He said he wanted to take me to Omaha to watch the Tigers."

Now we got the word and told of a father's love for his son and his Tigers. That got to the Baseball team. Almost immediately plans went into work to bring Logan, his mom, & best friend to the Mecca of College baseball. Travel arrangements were made, a hotel room booked, and tickets were found for a once in a lifetime trip. A community of family, friends, and strangers coming together to ease the pain of a grieving family.

It's strange how tragedy brings people together. Makes me believe there's still some good in this world after all.
