Diamonds in the Rough

In a PPH article about former Westbrook High baseball player Anthony D'Alfonso's stint for the Sanford Mainers, D'Alfonso's manager Joe Brown had this to say about the former Blue Blaze:

"If this young man isn't playing professional baseball at some point in his
career, then I don't know where the scouts are. This is my 10th season of
coaching summer baseball, and he's in my top 10 in terms of projectability of
the players I've seen."

And in other baseball news, the Paper City's 13-15 Babe Ruth baseball team won their second game in the New England regionals yesterday, defeating Western Massachusetts. The team, which includes ten players from the 2005 Little League World Series team, next plays tomorrow evening at 8p.
