A Golden Spikes “Thank You!”

October 24, 2011

My son Shelton and I would like to thank the Downtown Optimist Club for sponsoring the Golden Spikes baseball team this year.  Shelton plays for the 10 and under Spikes and they are not just another travel team.  The Golden Spikes Baseball Club of Mississippi was established in 2008 by Monty McMullen.  This organization is based on Christian values and is merely a branch of a larger ministry.  The overall goal of this club is not only to help youth become better baseball players, but to help them be more aware of the trials and tribulations that this life brings.  They also put an emphasis on community service.  I am attaching a photo from our last tournament in Biloxi which we won 1st Place.

For more information on the Golden Spikes here is a link to their website.
