Longtime El Dorado umpire Marv (Jackson) Louks passed away this week. Many players, coaches and fans who listened to sports broadcasts on KOYY and KSPG knew him first as Marv Jackson. That was his radio name and he carried that over to umpiring while he was still in radio.

Marv may not have achieved Hall of Fame status as an umpire like some others, but he was definitely one of the better umpires in high school and American Legion baseball. He was also always willing to help out when local teams were in a bind and short an umpire even when he would rather be doing something else.

On top of that, Marv was one of the nicest people you could ever meet and will be missed by the community as well as his wife Kerri and daughter Kyle.

Tonight the field that was originally McDonald Field was dedicated as Fowler Field as a tribute to HOF member Kenny Fowler. Kenny started helping Jim McDonald when he was only 8 years old and worked for him for many years once he was old enough.

Park and Recreation Director Kevin Wishart shared his memories of Kenny and introduced HOF member Sam Leben to give the dedication speech. Members of the Fowler family gathered around the pitcher’s mound.

Following the unveiling, Kenny’s grandchildren took turns throwing out first pitches. The very first one was a strike on the inside corner.
