Played against former Pirates pitcher Ian Snell in high school. He was a wild lefty so I drew a walk. Believe me I was happy with that!

I played against Xavier Nady in high school, but it was on the basketball courts.

RedSoxFan28 · 09-10-2012, 06:07 PM

I never played against him but kids from my HS faced Mark Rogers (Brewers)

Coached Mike Zunino in little league. You knew he was special at such a young age. Glad to see him doing well.

Doug Glanville broke my little league HR record.

I figure maybe I could've gotten a couple hits in A ball.

I believe that was a regular nickname for us from the opposing schools lol. I forgot to add Bobby Wilson the Angels catcher, played a few games against him(Kotchman was on his team).

No doubt. But I'm betting the team from Homosassa kept quiet.

BeingJustin · 09-10-2012, 06:54 PM

I played with & against Dennis Raben. I have some of his autos from 08 Donruss EEE. Also played with some guys who got drafted, just not sure where there at now.
Oh and Matt Latos

Wasn't Ian Snell a righty?

My 6 year old son...enough said!!!

WillBBC · 09-11-2012, 09:19 AM

Anthony Fasano. Played baseball and basketball with him...now he's a TE for the Dolphins. He really seemed like he could've picked any sport he wanted and gone pro. He was hitting bombs when he was 13-14.

223 · 09-11-2012, 09:53 AM

Paul Quantrill but not in baseball. He was a defenseman on my high school hockey team. He'd wind up for a slapshot at the blueline and people would scatter like roaches scared ****less because nobody (including him) knew where it was going.

I mean we're talking Nuke Laloosh hitting the mascot in Bull Durham wild.

ttmtrader101 · 09-11-2012, 10:03 AM

Also, one of my coaches (still in collage) got Harper tp ground out in a Las Vegas Tournoment, and he knows the #22 overall draft pick (forgetting his name...)

1992topps · 09-11-2012, 10:41 AM

I played with Prince Fielder, I went to school with him for 4 years in Florida, his dad was our coach for 2 years, used to come to games with his pet monkey on his shoulder lol.

Flkrsn5 · 09-11-2012, 09:06 PM

Played with Derek Holland for a summer after his high school year, played with and against Eric Fryer since I was a young buck, and played against, and been to showcases with Matt Angle. Derek Holland is a trip by the way haha.

cooldude1245 · 09-11-2012, 09:18 PM

coltsnsox07 · 09-11-2012, 11:24 PM
