DAVID FANTIN- PRESIDENT AND HEAD BASEBALL NUT
David Fantin grew up in Connecticut and started playing baseball at the age of four. Although he has never been paid to play the game he loves, he has been coaching or playing for most of his life.He currently plays in the Houston Hardball League, an amateur baseball league (that’s baseball not softball) and travels throughout the U.S and the world, playing in tournaments and goodwill missions.
In his journeys, he sees lots of children and adults who love the game of baseball, but cannot afford to buy the necessary equipment. David would bring donated items from friends on his trips and give those items away as well as his own personal equipment.
David, his wife Robin and her mom Marty decided to start a non-profit to provide donated gently used and new equipment to individuals or organizations with a passion for baseball but little means.
David also has had some friends die from cancer and ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) and has seen the impact these ailments have financially on the families. He felt he had to do something about it…so a “union” of his passion and ways to help those in need occurred…
The trio decided to host special events, such as charity baseball games, to raise funds for an individual suffering from an illness to help with the family with medical bills or mounting living expenses.
