WEST FRANKFORT, IL (Tim Hastings, West Frankfort Gazette. Please click on the link for the full story. Here is an excerpt below.)
– Before he helped bring organized youth baseball to West Frankfort, the late Bill McKee was sometimes asked to settle disputes in his daughters’ sandlot games
“He started with us!” Jayma McKee Cook and Gay McKee Morris said in tandem as they reminisced about their dad and his love for mentoring young people on baseball diamonds.
“When we were in grade school we were always having baseball games with kids from our neighborhood,” said the sisters who are both retired West Frankfort elementary school teachers and lifelong West Frankfort residents.
