    NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 43, No. 7, December 10, 2004) NCBWA President’s Message By NCBWA President Mike Montoro Though the holiday and bowl seasons are here upon us, we hope the recently-released preseason NCBWA All-America team will bring some warm thoughts of spring to you. Our deepest sympathies go to the family and friends of late NCBWA member Matt Smith, who died while on a basketball road trip to Mississippi State on Dec. 3. The South Alabama SID was a frequent contributor and one of the top young SIDs in the nation. His passing at this time of the year strikes home particularly hard to those who knew or worked with Matt. Don’t forget to email any news items to Bo Carter ([email protected]) for the newsletter, and thanks for staying attuned to some upcoming developments which can affect the NCBWA and college baseball as a whole. There are some exciting possibilities and some possible new awards on the horizon, so be on the watch for nomination forms, releases and other forthcoming information. In the meantime, here’s wishing you the happiest of holiday seasons (and bowls for many of you), safe travels, and good cheer for the end of 2004 and the start of what promises to be an outstanding year in 2005. Mike Montoro NCBWA President NCBWA Member Matt Smith of South Alabama Dies Suddenly Matt Smith, media relations director for the University of South Alabama, died unexpectedly on Dec. 3, 2004, of an apparent heart attack in Starkville, Miss., while traveling with the USA basketball team.

I cannot thank her enough for her encouraging advice, valuable input, constructive criticism, and beneficial editing comments. Thank you very much Dr. Pierce for contributing to my feeling of satisfaction with this project. - I must also thank my parents, Kenneth and Sally Blievemicht, for testing out my game and providing an honest evaluation of my game. Thanks Mom and Dad. I extend a thank you to Brandon Luhring, for his advice about using rubber cement to paste my player cards to the index cards. The cards stick together wonderfully. Thanks Brandon. I must extend another special thank you to Jamison Sills, for allowing me to use his alias "Don Sillione" as part of my "wild card" feature. Thanks Jamison.
