I was reading this Little League article about "The San Diego Sting" Strasburg, our pick Thomas Neal, Bochy's son and other players were on that team with Strasburg.
The Sting was stacked. Brett Bochy, son of big league manager Bruce Bochy and a future closer at Kansas, played second base. Thomas Neal, a Double-A outfielder and top prospect with the San Francisco Giants, played shortstop. The first baseman was Xavier Scruggs, now a St. Louis Cardinals prospect who ranks second in the Florida State League in home runs. They all fondly recall the sweet innocence and steep competition of youth travel ball: crowding around a restaurant table filled with pizza and soda, cannon-balling into hotel pools at dusk, the memories of that day’s doubleheader lingering and the anticipation of another game the next morning.
Another thing call me late but...but I didnt know that Bochy's son is in our farm system and was a 20th round pick?????? no wonder Bochy wont get fired
Bochy, a 20th-round pick of the Giants last month, is recovering from Tommy John surgery. Watching his former Sting teammates on TV buoys his spirits. His thoughts drift back to the fountainhead.
