Collegiate Athletes Visit the Kids
The three finalists for the 2011 Coleman Company-Johnny Bench Collegiate Catcher of the Year Award recently visited patients in the ChildLife Center at Via Christi Hospital on St. Francis.
Chris O'Brien, Wichita State University, Mike Zunio, University of Florida, and Jake Lowery, James Madison University spent time with patients and autographed baseballs.
A national committee selects the winner of the award, given to the best collegiate catcher. The finalists are brought to Wichita and Johnny Bench presents the award at the annual Greater Wichita Sports Banquet.
