Martin: Former LSU standout Blake Dean a class act
by Joey Martin - posted E-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
Former LSU standout baseball player Blake Dean is lending a helping hand for Tucker Cross Hinson. Tucker the son of Brett and Kayce Hinson of Vidalia, was born July 1 with Pallister-Killian Mosaic Syndrome, a rare chromosome disorder.

The family is still at Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children in Jackson, Ms. Brett said Dean called him after talking with Kassi Randall of Vidalia. Dean is donating a number of items for raffles and an auction to help the Hinsons.

"I actually learned about it through Facebook," Dean said. Kassi Randall of Vidalia, a friend of the Hinsons, messaged Dean and told him of their situation.

"I've done a few things charity-wise," Dean said. "I was in the Red, Rock & Blue Softball Tournament and was a waiter at a celebrity fund-raiser at Walkons.. I enjoy doing things for people, and it's a way of giving back. But once Kassi messaged me I asked her what I could do."

The Red, Rock & Blue Softball Tournament was held in March in Baton Rouge where all proceeds were split in half to Support Our War Heroes and The Blue Star Mothers of Louisiana.
