Inaugural Mike Coolbaugh Diamond Dreams Scholarship Awarded to Sean Alonzo
Diamond Dreams would like to congratulate Sean Alonzo on being awarded the first Mike Coolbaugh Diamond Dreams Scholarship. Sean is a 2011 graduate of Roosevelt High School in San Antonio. While at RHS, Sean maintained a 90 grade point average, was active in his community, and earned All-District honors while serving as team captain for the RHS baseball team. Sean, a four-year letterwinner on the varsity baseball team, is attending the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, where he will play baseball while he pursues his degree.
As part of the award, Diamond Dreams hosted Sean and his family in a suite at the Texas Rangers game against the Cleveland Indians on August 5. Diamond Dreams would like to give special thanks to Mark Caffey and The Caffey Group for donating use of the suite for this wonderful event.
Sean and his family took in a Texas Rangers game to commemorate his receiving the Mike Coolbaugh Diamond Dreams Scholarship.
“The legacy that Mike Coolbaugh has created in the game of baseball goes far beyond just the game on the field. He touched the lives of many by giving back. He and his beautiful family continue to do so through the efforts of Diamond Dreams. It is a true honor for Sean to be a part of that legacy. We thank Diamond Dreams for helping Sean further his education, as well as being part of a moving tribute to everything Mike stood for,” said Sandy Alonzo, Sean’s mother.
The Mike Coolbaugh Diamond Dreams Scholarship is awarded annually to a RHS senior for his positive impact on the RHS varsity baseball team. This scholarship is given out each year by Diamond Dreams, a charitable organization that honors the life of Mike Coolbaugh, a former professional baseball player and coach who was a member of the RHS Class of 1990. The Mike Coolbaugh Diamond Dreams Scholarship honors the player each year who has best served his team and school during his time at RHS. In making the award, the scholarship committee considers factors such as GPA, class rank, baseball performance, leadership, community service, care for others, and commitment to the game of baseball.
