Support Randy Harvey

PLEASE SUPPORT BROTHER UMPIRE RANDY HARVEY

In 1985 Randy Harvey began his umpiring career in Little League Baseball, worked his way to high school diamonds, quickly advanced to college baseball and eventually the biggest stage the sport has to offer – the College World Series in 2006.

Throughout his 20-plus years on the field, Randy gained a reputation for being one of the good guys – always helping brother umpires along the way. Presently, while Randy would never ask, he needs our help with something far more important than the countless umpire lessons he has shared – his health!

For three years Randy has been battling a rare kidney disease yet remained on the field through the 2017 NCAA baseball season. Unfortunately, in January his health took a turn for the worse and he ultimately was presented a choice by the doctors: Amputate both legs and live, or not. Randy, faced with this unfathomable choice, chose to live.

The “Randy Harvey Support Fund” has been established at the TD Bank in Deland, FL and is being administered by Dennis McComb.
