I played on the same semi-pro team for a few games with Tony Pierce, Sr. and a state tournament with Mike Spilman, younger brother of Harry Spilman.
I'm sure I faced several future minor leaguers during my time as a pitcher but their names have eluded me. Sometimes your memory hides things or events you don't really want to remember, perhaps to protect your ego. lol -

Never played any team sports, I boxed and did MMA before is was cool. I trained with pretty much anybody that was anybody in the mid 80's and early 90's including rolling with Royce Gracie. But the 2 guys I respected the most and was lucky enough to learn from on several occasions was Sherman Harrill http://www.theihof.com/046-sherman-j-harrill and George Shin http://www.theihof.com/072-george-shin-sr.
Sherman was one of those guys that could touch you and make it hurt more than getting full power punched by most. George was by far the most brutal man I have ever met in my life. Outside of training they are/were the most gentle, kind and friendly people I ever had the privilege to meet.

I played youth Baseball with Craig Biggio. He was a year younger than me but I could tell he was going to be special in Junior High. I never played varsity baseball but he was the star of my HS team. The year he graduated he was the best Football player in Suffolk County(averaging 10 yards per carry).
I remember having a conversation with Craig in HS and him telling me that he was going to be a catcher because he felt along with the coach that he had a better shot at making it to the bigs if he was a catcher. 3000 hits later he made the right decision!
