Clay Gould - Logan Soul Gould Educational Fund

     Clay Gould was an inspiration to those who knew him, and many who didn't. On April 27th, 2003, UTA's new baseball stadium was dedicated to him. Clay Gould Ballpark was inspired by the dreamWatching the Game of the man who's name the stadium now bears.  Gould, who died of cancer at the age of 29 in 2001, was head coach for the Maverick baseball team from 2000-2001 and was a player from 1990-1993.

     I did this drawing, titled "Safe at Home" as a way to pay tribute to Clay Gould.  Even though I never got the opportunity to meet him, he still touched my life.  During the dedication of the Ballpark, I got to meet the Gould family, including Clay's daughter Logan, who was ten months old when he passed away.  That was a touching moment to say the least.     First Pitch

     Although the original drawing was given to Clay's family, 16"x20" prints will be sold for $10 to benefit the Logan Soul Gould Educational Fund.

     I have set up a PayPal Donation account.  If you do not have a PayPal account and would like to donate money and receive your print, please email me: ryan@willyart.com 

Thank you!
