My center fielder in the game was Jeffrey Hammonds, who I don't know if he played in the Olympics but he did play for Team USA of some sort. He was the best athlete I ever saw and incredibly bright as well. Word at the game was that he got a near perfect score on his SAT's.

Hammonds was a member of the 1992 Olympic baseball team that finished fourth in Barcelona. Other members of that team included Nomar Garciaparra, Jason Giambi, Charles Johnson, Phil Nevin and Jason Varitek. He also had fellow Stanford Cardinals Willie Adams and Rick Helling on the team.
