On opening day, April 1, 1996, in Cincinnati, this gentle man of baseball died of heart failure. Perhaps appropriately, John McSherry passed away doing what he was born to do - umpire Major League Baseball. This man's memory has led to the creation of the John P. McSherry Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping others, particularly children, through education and sports initiative. Part of the proceeds of this video will go to:
The John P. McSherry Foundation PO Box 455 Dobbs Ferry, NY 10522.
