About Baseball Heaven & Professor K

Baseball Heaven is the vision of Kenneth Crawford (Professor K), a dedicated community advocate from Shawnee, Oklahoma. His journey began with concerns about public safety at the Lions Club Ballfields—a pursuit that quickly evolved into an in-depth exploration of youth sports governance and community accountability.

Motivated by personal loss and a desire for transparency, Professor K was instrumental in developing the Brian Crawford Memorial Sports Complex. Baseball Heaven serves as a tribute to families affected by loss in youth sports, offering a space for healing and remembrance.

Through rigorous research—including analyses of legal documents, local governance, and financial structures within youth sports—Professor K seeks to uncover systemic challenges and drive reform. Baseball Heaven is not only a memorial but also a platform for advocacy, community storytelling, and meaningful change in the world of youth sports.
