Salem Baseball Community Hit With Loss

On Monday, April 20th Pancho Tavera passed away after a long, hard-fought battle with esophageal cancer.  Pancho has been a well known figure and familiar face in the Salem-Keizer baseball community since his youth.  Most recently, Pancho coached McKay JBO and High School teams.  His spirit, friendliness, and love for the game of baseball will be missed.  West Salem Baseball sends its thoughts and prayers to the Tavera and McKay families.
