Scott Yelle is a life-long Red Sox fan living in Cape Cod, MA who discovered his love for baseball early thanks to Little League. Scott is also the Secretary and Treasurer of the Jackson Yelle Family Foundation, which is a non-profit foundation started to honor the legacy of his son Jackson, who was tragically killed by a hit-and-run driver while in Myrtle Beach with his club baseball team.

Scott is currently on a journey to visit all 30 MLB ballparks, donating money at each stop to MLB and Nike’s RBI program (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities).
