Maine Woods 45 Legend - R.I.P.

3/16/2023

 
Picture
It is with great sadness that I have to announce the passing of Don Massey. He was one of the original Maine Woods 45 players and had been a Giant since joining the league. Last year he played for Maine Woods 60 Giants and had plans for another season, but didn't quite make it. I speak from experience, as Don and I were battery mates, when I say he was a devoted team mate, a loyal Maine Woods Giant and loaded with an amazing amount of baseball wisdom and tales.   Rest in peace Don Massey, #10, Giants.

Mike Doucette - MWB
I am pretty sure I just heard someone whisper in my ear, "throw strikes or I'm gonna come out there and kick your ass"! Don had a way with words. He was my first battery mate when I joined the league and I will always be grateful for his words of wisdom and encouragement. He will be sadly missed in this league and this world. R.I.P. Don.   Mike Doucette - Giants  #13

I played and traded barbs and insults with Don for many years, twenty as a teammate. No one did the playing, insulting, or teamating any better. I am really going to miss him. We all are.  Digger. (Joe Baum)

So sad! Don was truly a pleasure to play ball with as well as hang around with. I will miss him.  Dave Wilson

Very sad. One of our most loyal original players. It was amazing how he overcame two strokes and played again. If there is a game up above he will be playing for sure. I think I walked him more than anyone else. If it was down the middle or close to the plate he was going to connect. Please rest in peace.  Dick Hill

RIP Don , love you . Hell of a ball player . Hell of a guy . Will miss you.  John Hall

Sorry to hear this. Don was a great guy, always made me feel welcome.  Jake Webb

So sorry to hear the loss of a fellow MWB brother.  Ken Walsh

My condolences to Don’s family and friends.  Ian Emery
