Don Rose, Angels and Giants.
Sandy Vance a sad story. Dodgers very excited after his rookie year, then got hurt and disappeared.
And I thought that Boone’s brother (Rod?) was a better hitter in college. Bay Area college baseball had some great players in the mid Sixties. Cal had Messersmith, Rich Nye. Santa Clara had two time AA Vince Bigone and future White Sox Bob Spence. Pacific had a couple of pitchers who made it into MLB. Even though we were a non scholie program we could hang with D1 teams. Knocked off Cal when I was a freshman and future draftee Don Elam beat Santa Clara and Jan Dukes in ‘67.
