Jim Christy March 29, 1957 - March 8, 2008 Delco Diamonds President and 18U Showcase Team Manager Jim Christy was one of the founding fathers of the Delco Diamonds in 2004. Under Jim's guidance, the Delco Diamonds grew from that one team to become one of the area's premier tournament softball organizations. Jim's vision and mantra was: "It's all about the girls". Jim was tireless in his pursuit of getting his players seen and recruited by college coaches so that his girls could first, get a college education and second play softball at the collegiate level. Jim was so adept at this process that players from far and wide contacted the organization seeking to become a Delco Diamond player. Jim left behind a Wife, Son and a Daughter and scores of players he considered his family.
