Remembering Bobby Myrick

[Rick Cleveland]

My good friend Bobby Myrick was a remarkable athlete and captain of the 1974 Diamond Dogs... He could throw that speed ball by you...

Isn't is amazing how vivid those memories remain as a 12 year old on the diamond?

Awesome

Thank you for the read, Rick. I had the privilege of befriending Bobby during my tenure in Hattiesburg and he was my fishing/hunting/golfing buddy and of course excelled at all of those as well. What most people don't know is that he secretly started a lawn mowing service on the weekends for people were unable to do it themselves, and his unfortunate heart attack occurred while mowing one of those yards. Salt of the earth, always a huge smile, and he never had a bad day. Greatly missed.
