Fond Memory at Saint Xavier: “One of my fondest memories would have to be my senior year when we went to the World Series. Up to that point, it was some of the most exciting baseball I remember being a part of. We had a group that gave everything to get to where we were. Bat- tling through slumps, failures and injuries to show what they were made of. I think that people in sports know how hard it is to find a group of guys with such passion. Nobody knows that better than Coach Dooley.”
