I was at the game in November, 1992 when Byrd broke his neck and remember everything vividly. NYC was mesmerized with the story the following week. Byrd was unabashedly Christian and really showed the power of Christ as he walked out onto the field for the coin toss 10 months after they said he would never walk again.

Sad

I know pretty much exactly where that is. We used to camp at Hawthorne Bluff campground near Oolagah. My Daughter and her family still do.

Will Rogers was born near Oolagah tho he claimed Claremore as his home town.

Other car driven by a 17 year old.Yikes....kids that age are dramatically inexperienced and all too many of them are stupid as well.Sounds like this man was a good Christian.Sad indeed.

Rest in Peace.

May God’s Holy Angels escort him to Paradise.

In paradisuum deducant te Angeli;in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem.

Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem.

Saddened;

And thanks for relating your experience.

Sad news. May he RIP.

I had recalled that he was a believer. Satan is always trying to kill believers. I have cars veer into my lane on a near weekly basis in LA.

I’m so sorry to hear this. Prayers for Byrd’s family and friends...and for the kid who hit him; he’s going to need them, as well.

Thanks for posting.
