YONKERS, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) – A softball tournament raised money Saturday in honor of a well-known athlete from Yonkers killed in a drive-by shooting. As CBS2’s Clark Fouraker reported, one man came all the way from Chicago to be there. Michael Nolan was a standout athlete and prospect to be drafted by the Oakland Athletics. A stray bullet hit and killed him in a fast food restaurant parking lot in October 2015. “They loved him, he loved them, and he would have been right there playing in any tournament,” said his mother, Donna Nolan . “It’s a bittersweet feeling, because you feel good doing it and you know that’s what he would want, but then it’s also like wow this is why I’m here, because my brother is not here anyone,” his brother, Jimmy Nolan , added. Michael Nolan’s legacy lives on even more in the man who received his pancreas, Jerry Russell. He visited the softball tournament from Chicago, meeting the Nolan family for the first time. “Believe it or not, I feel like I’m part of him. Whenever I can’t eat a food – maybe that came from Michael, I’m not sure. I feel like I’m close with Michael,” he said. All the money raised from the tournament will go toward helping other young people, including eight scholarship recipients – one from every public high school in Yonkers. “You pick the right applicant that’s got it in his heart, does the right thing,” said Donna Nolan. Teams played softball and tailgated Saturday, and a number of community businesses donated to the cause. “We’re hoping to help some of the inner city youth kids make something out of themselves and stay out of trouble, stay out of the gangs,” Yonkers resident Tom Lori said. The event also had a table for a gun take-back program with the Yonkers Police Department. The family said it plans to have another tournament – this time a basketball one – in the coming months. Russell said next year he’ll bring a team of his own to play.

NEW YORK (AP) — Jeurys Familia was traded from the New York Mets to the Oakland Athletics on Saturday for two minor leaguers and $1 million in international signing bonus pool allotment. New York gets right-hander Bobby Wahl, infielder Will Toffey for its closer. “This trade hits three major areas,” Mets assistant general manager John Ricco said in a statement. :We got a major league ready reliever our scouts recommended, a position player who was a high selection from the 2017 draft and strong prospect in the A’s system as well as receiving international bonus pool money to help in the future.” An All-Star in 2016, Familia is 4-4 with a 2.88 ERA and 17 saves in 21 chances. The 28-year-old right-hander has struck out 43 and walked 14 in 40 appearances covering 40 2/3 innings. The right-hander can become a free agent after this season. He was at Yankee Stadium on Saturday morning but left before the start of the Mets’ 7-6 loss . With the Mets (40-56) languishing near the bottom of the National League standings, Familia and infielder Asdrubal Cabrera were expected to be traded for prospects as the July 31 trade deadline approaches. Both are eligible for free agency. Familia had an abbreviated 2017 season due to a blood clot that required surgery. He was 2-2 with a 4.38 and six saves in 26 games. He had 123 saves for thr Mets, who signed him at age 17. To clear a roster spot, the A’s transferred right-hander Daniel Gossett to the 60-day disabled list. (© Copyright 2018 The Associated Press.
