Dude, I don't think it's smart to be posting a bank account number for all to see...

I'm sure there are plenty of safe guards in place, with these type accounts. This is posted on many web sites, thats how I found it.

Unless you know for sure this is legit and not a scam, which happen quite often over the Internet, I would check this out first just to make sure.

It's legit- unless several hundred posters on multiple discussion boards, along with the owners of the indoor sports complex where this happened, are all in on the scam.

Google "Umpire Greg Ferguson" and you'll find the links.

I did Google "Umpire Greg Freguson," and I found three softball fan sites, and one softball field site. I am not questioning the validity of this tragic event, I do however find it odd that this did not show up in any news source. With the death of Mike Coolbaugh in AA this past year, one would think that another on-field death would at least make the local paper.

I'm skeptical, to say the least. I tried to search some of the Houston newspapers and couldn't find any information about Greg Ferguson and I'm surprised that none of the members of this board who are from Texas know anything about this.

The only indoor facility I can think of in the greater Houston area is the Astrodome.

The weather down there is nice enough in the winter that they play outdoors year round.

Sounds like a scam to me.
