3 memories. I played for a Christian high school in Peoria, Illinois.
When I was on the JV baseball team in 1978 we played Spalding Academy (A Catholic HS). The star player for Spalding was Joe Girardi, who had quite a rep in HS, and it was well known he was going to Northwestern. Their varsity thumped our varsity pretty good as I recall. In probably 1980 we played Yates City HS, which now no longer exists. Their home field was the town park. There was a tree in left center about 250 feet from home. Hit the tree = ground rule double. I bet there were 10 ground rule doubles. Here is link to now closed high schools in Illinois - Yates City RIP http://www.illinoishsglorydays.com/id68.html Then at the NAIA level I played 1 year of baseball and got to make a diving catch in left field to end an inning. That was my college high light - haha.
