The Major League Baseball Clubhouse Managers Association (MLBCMA) Scholarship

that evolved to promote higher education for members of their support staff. Since the
founding of the MLBCMA, the organization has awarded more than $450,000 to its award
recipients. This year $10,000 has been awarded to four winners:

  • Chris Manzione, enrolled in Wake Forest University Master’s Program, New York
    Yankees.
  • John McCausland, a freshman at The Ohio State University, Cleveland Indians.
  • Kyle Tamblingson, a freshman at The University of Wisconsin–Whitewater, Milwaukee

Kaiser Carlile was the 9‐year‐old batboy for a Kansas baseball team who died on August
2, 2015, one day after he was accidentally struck by a bat during a game. Kaiser, the batboy
for the Liberal Bee Jays summer team in Liberal, Kansas, was struck in the head as a player
took a practice swing during their game the day before. Kaiser was wearing a helmet.
On October 4th all of our batboys will wear Kaiser’s initials “KC” on a memorial wrist
band in honor of the 9 year old. October 4th also marks the first annual Kaiser Carlile Memorial
5K Run/Walk in Liberal, Kansas.
