Post a lesser known or obscure player who went

to High School in the town where you presently live. While it's hard to say "obscure" on this board, someone the casual baseball fan likely wouldn't know anything about.

We went to HS together and played sports together. He had a much better career being a hitting coach than being a player.

Was a very good hitting coach for the Mets. They should never have fired him.

This handsome young fellow lives in my daughters home town of Beaver Falls, PA. Played minor league ball for 17 years, had one call up with the 1963 Cardinals as a Pinch hitter, unfortunately his first major league at bat he faced Sandy Koufax! ouch....

Interesting career...

He is a great guy with some great baseball stories. He was nice enough to sign this card for me :-)

I always liked Hank Borowy, so much so that I have a few autographed photos. He had some excellent seasons, and while he played for some good teams, he played for some bad teams as well and didn't get run support. And he also had some health issues that limited him later.
