Cats to Honor Memory of Former Player
On Thursday, July 29th, 2010, the Fort Worth Cats will honor the memory of former player Mark Austry before and during the game against Shreveport-Bossier. Austry, 32, passed away after completing a half-marathon in Dallas on March 14th, 2010. The medical examiner later determined that he died from myocarditis, an inflammation of the middle layer of the heart wall. The affliction is caused by a viral infection.
After pre-game ceremonies honoring Austry, which will include a first pitch by a family member and a jersey presentation, the Cats will “Pass the Bucket” during the game, as fans can donate money that will go to both the college trust fund for his daughters, Isabella and Anna, and the Myocarditis Foundation, per the family’s wishes. All proceeds, plus a donation from the Cats, will go to these two groups.
Austry played on the 1996 state championship team at Arlington Heights High School, and went on to play at Texas Tech University. He later played for the Fort Worth Cats during the 2001 season.
Media is welcome to cover the event, please contact Bric Shelton for more information.
