Thanks for the positive reinforcement Count, one day is but a bump in the long road to success in this endevour, and on a positive note also knowing that you are a big ten fan we are real proud of local boy making good, Donnie Nickey who is from the local high school here in the area Jonathon Alder.
Donnie was first a Pioneer ,
Then a Buckeye,
and now a 5th round draft choice with Tennessee Titans, I imagine Eddie will keep him on his toes.
Donnie talks about baseball:
(on if he received any scholarship offers for baseball in high school)
Actually, I was scouted by the Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds. Once I signed my scholarship to play football for Ohio State that kind of ended and my love was always football.
Geno on Donnie & baseball:
I was there the day they (the team and it was a team effort) won the Ohio State Div III high school championship and this kid could play baseball he chased down a deep fly and saved a double, after the game Donnie and the rest of the seniors received their diploma's at home plate, two of the school board members were there to watch their sons play and win the title then they presented all the diploma's officially after the game. Sweet memories over shadow a lousey day at the window.
Best of luck Donnie ! We are proud !
