I have written about this way too much in the last year. Remembrances of local sports legends who passed away is beginning to make me feel really old and really sad, especially when they pass away after battling COVID-19. This deadly virus robbed us of Coach Catherine Neely and this week it took softball legend and guru Jim Frost. Frost passed away yesterday from complications of the coronavirus.
Everyone in Chattanooga knew who Jim Frost was. He was the man who built Frost Cutlery into the thriving multi-million-dollar business it is today. However, he is also the man who gave and gave and continued to give to support local girls softball. His franchise, the Frost Falcons, was and still is a force to be reckoned with on a national level.
