Former Dodger Steve Sax is honoring the legacy of his son John, a Marine pilot who tragically lost his life during a military training accident last year.
Steve, an All-Star second baseman with two World Series rings, is making sure his son's legacy isn't forgotten. He's organized a golf tournament for Sunday, Nov. 5 at Tierra Rejada, followed by a fundraiser at the Ronald Reagan presidential library. It's all to help the foundation in John's name that provides scholarships and grants to aspiring aviators.
"He loved his family and he loved his country - and he would have done anything as a Marine and unfortunately he gave the ultimate sacrifice," said Steve Sax."It's incredible what kind of person he was, and he was the same kind of Marine," said Steve Sax. "He loved to fly and unfortunately when he passed away he was doing what he loved to do."
Steve says as a father, he's handling the grief as best he can, and only hopes these efforts do justice to his son's life - and the lives of the four other Marines who were also killed.
