SERGEANT RICK McDONALD Today Tuesday July the 28th is a very somber day for several of my fastball player friends ,fans of fastball and the family of Rick McDonald .Its on this very day that Rick was killed in the line of duty . Sargeant Rick McDonald was a twelve year veteran of the Greater Sudbury Police Force . Rick also played fastball and in his honor the league took his name .Every June the league holds a Rick McDonald Memorial Fastball Tournament as well as a Slo-Pitch tournament .A good part of the money gained here goes to help charitable causes such as buying bicycles for under privilege kids , send children with afflicted serious illnesses and their families to trips at Disneyworld as well as beautify the park named after him in Azilda . Our good friend who left us much to early is survived by his wife Corinne Fewster also a police officer. On Thursday night July the 30th , at the Lorne Brady Memorial Park in Garson, just prior to the opening game between the Dog House Sportsbar North Stars and the Sudbury Athletics , we will honor the memory of Sergeant Rick McDonald . We hope that many fans , former players and friends will be out for the special ceremony planned for that evening..
