So not a draft pick but an awesome story that just happened to me... I went to my local grocery store with my Giants hat on this morning. Older guy says nice hat. I said yes it is. He says I played for those guys a while back. It was Roger Metzger. He was a little before my time. Light hitting shortstop in the 70's but he won a gold glove with Houston in '73! Super nice guy. I talked with him for a good 5 minutes. Thought you all might appreciate the story! Just bummed his last WIS year is '79 and I can't draft him this year!

And hell... since I'm talking about it, I also met Dan Spillner who just got drafted! My dad worked with his brother in the 80's and he was in town playing the A's so I got to hang out with him for awhile after the game. Super cool memory. I was about 10 at the time.

Very cool. When I was a kid, 12-13 years old, I wrote articles for Baseball Card News, their "kid reporter." I got to interview Gaylord Perry and Jim Kaat, both of whom are in this draft, as well as Darryl Strawberry (during his rookie season), who we will be seeing here soon enough.
