Rainiers Statement on the Passing of Greg Halman
"Greg was a huge part of the Rainiers during his time here in Tacoma, and played a pivotal role - on the field - in our run to the 2010 Pacific Coast League Championship. But far more important than what he did on the field, was his personality off the field.
He had a huge smile on his face, every day, and his enthusiasm was infectious. He just had a way about him that made our front office staff and fans see a guy who clearly loved what he was doing.
He was often first to raise his hand when the Tacoma community needed him, and in particular, spent a good deal of time visiting hospitalized children, which speaks to his character.
We miss Greg, already, and our prayers go out to his family, friends, teammates and the Mariners organization."
