BTW - here's a trivia question about Jerry Colangelo. When he was in HS, he was the #1 pitcher on the HS baseball team rotation. Who was #2?
Answer - Jim Bouton! That's right - back then (very late 50s), Jerry was rated better than a guy who went on to win World Series games with the Yankees. Strange how things turn out sometimes.
Also BTW - the HS is Bloom in Chicago Heights, IL. Also my alma mater. Jerry has stayed in touch with the HS and is the Honorary Chairman of the Scholarship Committee. He still remembers his roots. Cool.
