Mid-Iowa Baseball League Hall-of-Famer, Matt Langford (47), passes away after a battle with brain cancer.
Matt was elected with the 2023 class. Matt joined the league in the early 2000s & played for 20 years with various teams, throwing three no-hitters and one perfect game. Matt is survived by his son, Boston (pictured), who spent many games in, or around, the dugout with his dad. Rest in peace, Matt.
