Some day, Robert Rohrbaugh hopes to have something in common with John Dopson.
Dopson, the last Hanover area high school graduate to compete in the major leagues, was a right-handed pitcher who played, in part of his career, for the Montreal Expos.
In 2002, Rohrbaugh was drafted in the 30th round by the now defunct Expos, but instead went to Clemson University.
Now, as the 2008 season approaches, Rohrbaugh, who left Clemson after his junior year because he was drafted in the seventh round by the Seattle Mariners, could be poised to join the Delone Catholic High graduate as a major league pitcher.
"I'm not really that surprised," Rohrbaugh, who will attend major league camp with the Mariners in Peoria, Ariz., in a few weeks, said at Hanover Rotary Sports Night on Tuesday. "I knew I had this in me."
Plenty more where that came from.
