Another Mariner Star-Brian Holman=

This page is dedicated to Kassidy Holman.

   
Brian HolmanMr. Holman supports not only the Leukemia foundation, but Cystic Fibrosis, and other children's focused charities.

Brian was almost the 1st Mariner to throw a perfect game and had better stats then his peers during the 1991 season including Randy Johnson.  In 1991 he led the M's in wins and ERA.

Two of Brian's  most memorable memories were when he got his first win against the Atlanta Braves in 1988 while playing with the Expos and
Two years later when Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr. were making catches for him in the outfield together.

Brian still has a game batting line up card signed by both Griffey Sr. and Jr. and he considers it very special.  He has had several collectors offer him large dollar amounts for it but he will NEVER sell it. He also has a Ken Griffey Jr. photo ball that Jr. signed for him " George K. Griffey Jr."  It's very rare for Junior to sign a ball that way.....and as Brian says its not for sale either!

Where is Brian now?

"Wichita is where all my family is from and where I grew up part of my life," he said. "And then I've been here for three years, and I love working in that financial area and working with people to help them make sure their finances and stuff like that are in order."

Holman is in Wichita with his family, which includes wife Jami, and children Scott, David and Jennifer. Including Brian's open-heart surgery for a leaking mitral valve in 2003, the family has had several tough health-related issues. But none hit harder than the passing of their adopted daughter, Kassidy, around two years ago after an extended battle with leukemia.

"It doesn't matter whether you're a ball player or the color of your skin or rich or poor, bad things can happen to anybody at anytime, and you just have to try to figure out a way to get through it," Holman said.

We at Friends of CFF want to dedicate this page to Brian for all  he continues to do for the children of the world.......from those with CFF to those with Leukemia...Thank you!!!!
