It is with immense sadness that we share the news of Victor Jay Herrera's passing. Known to many as Jay, he was a cherished member of the LAMSL community for many years, following in the footsteps of his brother, Steve, by joining the league at a young age.
The Herrera family's deep roots in LAMSL began with Jay's grandfather, Kaliman—a familiar face as both a player and an umpire—who introduced his son, Victor Herrera Sr., and later his grandchildren, to the league.
We are particularly heartbroken, as Jay had recently returned to LAMSL after a brief absence, playing alongside his son for the first time in our winter league. His return brought so much joy, and his absence leaves an unfillable void.
Our sincerest condolences go out to his brother Steve, who manages the Showtime team, and to Jay's children and the entire Herrera family.
During these challenging times, it is essential for our LAMSL family to unite and offer support. We urge you to consider contributing to the GoFundMe linked below. Any contribution, big or small, will help support the family of this wonderful softball player and truly special individual, who brought so much laughter and happiness to all who knew him.
