Tommy LaSorda attended his wedding after the 2000 Olympics. That was pretty cool. The bride was a classmate of mine from Monroe. Great family.

Let’s get all this straightened out. He’s from St Amant. Was a better basketball player throughout his high school career. At least the second best pitcher on that St Amant team behind Jeremy Robinson (maybe further down the depth chart, but hell it was twenty five years ago).

Showed up at American Legion ball that summer pumping 92 outta nowhere with a pretty fresh arm (injury plagued senior year of high school if memory serves me correctly). That team finished second in the American Legion World Series and he was a stud.

Skip didn’t miss anything. Late bloomer, awesome career.
