Our Story

A Legacy Beyond the Field: Remembering Jim Poole

From his standout days at Georgia Tech, where he earned Hall of Fame honors, to the grand stage of the MLB, where he notably pitched in the World Series against the Braves in 1995, Jim Poole's journey in baseball was both impressive and inspiring. But for BIP Wealth, Jim's legacy goes beyond his athletic achievements.

Over a decade ago as an original investor in BIP, Jim envisioned a special initiative. Recognizing the unique financial challenges faced by baseball professionals, he proposed the creation of a Baseball Division. This division, he imagined, would be dedicated to guiding baseball players and their families through the financial ups and downs synonymous with their careers.

Today, that vision is not only realized but has flourished beyond expectations. BIP's Baseball Division is manned entirely by former baseball players who understand the nuances of the sport both on and off the field.

Yet, Jim's impact extends beyond baseball and BIP. His valiant battle with ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) moved many and led BIP to champion increased awareness and support for ALS research. In his fight, he exemplified resilience and inspired a community to rally behind a cause larger than any single individual. Every day, we celebrate his legacy, a legacy that will continue to inspire and guide many more in the world of baseball and beyond.
