The Columbia Fireflies minor league baseball team's Visiting Clubhouse Manager is in the hospital after a golf cart incident.
It happened on Saturday, September 17. CJ Yarborough is the Fireflies' Visiting Clubhouse Manager. He has worked with the team since the franchise started in 2016. He started out as a bat boy before being promoted to visiting clubhouse manager. He won the SAL Visiting Clubhouse Manager of the Year Award in 2019 and the baseball team says he was on track to do it again this season.
He also works at Jake's on Devine and is a student at USC.
He is currently at a local hospital in stable condition, but he may be facing a serious brain injury.
CJ's friends and family have started a gofundme account to help with his medical expenses. The account has a goal of fundraising $40,000.
The Columbia Fireflies say 'You will never not see CJ with a smile on his face. We ask you please keep CJ and his family in your thoughts and prayers as they go through this tough time'.
