They Kept It Quiet: Temple University's Number One Baseball Player in the Nation in 1984 Hitting Triples

As a child I dreamed of being a professional baseball player just like half of the children in our neighborhood. I was an average baseball player in high school. I wanted to go to college but I wasn't good enough to be offered a scholarship from any colleges. So, I did the next best thing, I walked on the team and earned a full scholarship. During my four years at Temple University, I played against some of the best baseball players before they became professionals. I played against Barry Larkin, Pete Incaviglia, Billy Swift and Jamie Moyer and many more. I experienced a number of trials and tribulations during my years at Temple University. So, I need you to put on these cleats and walk with me to home plate, as we stroke the baseball and watch it drop in the gap as it roll to the fence, then together we leg out a triple.
