"This is a true story" - another reason to play summer college baseball.

During my years in the old Basin League [South Dakota] we were fortunate to play in a College League. There were only 4 summer league opportunities.

The season was not long enough, in the playoffs our team Watertown Lake Sox with Dick Howser and Ron Perranoski defeated Bob Gibson Chamberlain Chiefs.

Seven months later in the Big Ten final Championship game in East Lansing. The 3b from Ohio State who I played against in South Dakota talk to the pitcher from Ohio State with instructions of how to pitch to me.

Because of the summer experience to learn pitchers and patterns, I was succesful

that day with 2 HR's and the opportunity to play in the College WS.

"Learn from each game". Keep a book!
