About Henry Pearson

Henry Pearson was an avid March Madness fan and participated in this pool before a car accident took his life far too early in 2009.  He looked forward to this pool every year and in 2010, I decided to name the tournament after him and make selections in his name.  Before passing away, Henry was an aspiring sports agent and focused his attention on professional baseball players.  He had a passion for baseball and his family would like to honor his name by donating to RBI.  CLICK HERE to learn more about Henry.
