Yep, you never know.....So much overlooked young baseball talent...... Nothing new.......I personally know two guys who couldn't make the varsity high school baseball team.....One of the kids was an orphan being raised by his uncle. The uncle moved to a different town so that the kid could play ball........Baseball was the boy's everything in life......EVERYTHING!...... Both of those boys went on to have solid Major League careers........Best part......They are now both solid family men......Beautiful wives, wonderful children... Happy!.......Baseball isn't everything..... Not even close!.......But,.....Maybe a close second!
72 - 73 - 74 A’s 82 Cardinals; I’m not sure with the other 2 as a coach -- that would have been a great trivia question…
Great picture. The greatest catcher of all time, and Johnny Bench.
...
Who was the other kid who couldn't make HS varsity?
not Joe Rudi...
I would never reveal the name of a publicly known person that I know on a public forum without the express permission of the person in question...... It wouldn't be right.......Personal privacy issue........
And yes, I have in the past on this forum posted about well known sports personalities by name that I have known....but to the best of my knowledge....... They were are all deceased at the time of my posting.......I don't think they would care at that point.....
P.S. Nope, I think I'm wrong...... I have posted here about at least two baseball players by name that I have had a passing accquintance with that are still among the living.....brothers.......Nice guys......My mistake....Never again...NEVER!
