Scott Rawson Sloan was killed in an automobile
accident with three of his friends on June 18, 1992. Scott had just turned 16, but he had already
made his mark on baseball in Vienna.
Scott played on one Vienna Little League and three
Babe Ruth League All Star teams. He was
the catcher and a leading hitter for the Babe Ruth League Prep Team that won
the Virginia State Championship in 1989. He was a second-year member of the Post 185
American Legion squad and was scheduled to be Madison High School's varsity
catcher in 1993. Scott had already
caught the eye of professional baseball scouts.
We will never know how far Scott's strong throwing
arm, quickness, keen batting eye, slashing line drives, ability to handle
pitchers, and his deep understanding of the game would have taken him in
baseball. But we do know that he brought
an attitude to the game that is a model for others to follow.
Following his death, Scott's parents established a
memorial fund intended to promote Babe Ruth League Baseball in Vienna. The Scott Rawson Sloan Life Award, supported
by the Scott Rawson Sloan Memorial Fund, honors Babe Ruth baseball players for
demonstrating qualities for which Scott was known, including:
· love for the game of baseball;
· demonstrated respect for other players, coaches, and umpires;
· leadership by example; and
· generously teaching and sharing with other
players.
As long as these qualities are honored, on and off
the baseball field, Scott will never be forgotten.
The players who are chosen to receive this award
become members for life of an exclusive group of recipients of the Scott Sloan
Life Award.
Donations for the continued support of the
memorial fund and award would be appreciated and may be sent to:
