Why I love sports: OSU's Kenny Gajewski learned life lessons listening to Dodgers games on the radio with Grandpa Bud

Editor's note: Oklahoma State softball coach Kenny Gajewski tells The Oklahoman's Scott Wright why he loves sports and the role it has played in his life growing up in Los Alamitos, California.

STILLWATER — My love of sports goes back to my grandpa, Kenneth Preston Williams. Grandpa Bud. He was a Dodger fanatic.

He lived right next door to our church, so we had the big church parking lot right next door to his house. I remember playing catch with him. I stayed with him a lot. He was my best friend.

My buddies all loved him.
