My cousin Scott Shaffer played baseball for Glen Ridge HS, he was a stud and a rising star through Sophomore and Junior year until August 18 , 1976. He died in a alcohol related accident that night in Montclair.

I was not gifted to play baseball but I love the game because of Scott. I still miss him very much, he was my hero, I am four years younger than he was.

Tonight my son was the starting pitcher in his first Varsity game as a Sophomore for a Texas 5A program. I can't explain to you how proud I am of my son but I also know that Scott's blood runs through his veins and tonight my Danny was playing with an Angel in the Outfield.

Danny went 4 innings gave one run on a bases loaded balk but got out of the innning, he had 6 strike outs and 3 walks and earned the his first Varsity Win. Thank you Scott Shaffer.
