Plus: A HISTORIC night of offense
Scott Rolen would have felt wrong inviting Pam Frenzel to his induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
"It's like inviting people to your wedding in Maui," Rolen says with a laugh. "It's a nice invitation, but it's going to cost you thousands of dollars and 12 hours of travel."
Rolen need not worry. When he gives his induction speech on the grounds of the Clark Sports Center in Cooperstown, N.Y., on Sunday, Pam will be among the thousands in the audience. Because the Indiana woman feels compelled to honor a special relationship from Rolen's playing days.
"I need to be there," Pam says, "because this is Tyler's friend."
Tyler was Pam's first-born son. He was an exuberant, humble and wise child whose life was much too brief. When cancer claimed Tyler's life in 2004, he was only 9 years old. But in the little time he had, Tyler made a big impact on many lives.
Rolen's included. |
