Jaguars alumni gatherAbout 20 former Port St. Lucie High baseball players braved blustery 40-degree weather in Under Armour and knit caps Sunday to take cuts at the school’s annual alumni game.
Even a couple foul balls off the handle in the cold couldn’t spoil the 1990s versus 2000s alumni showdown for the group that features seven players with professional experience.
“It says something about the type of players we have, they all come back,” said coach Tony Malizia. “During the course of the season at home games, it seems like three or four come back and sit in the dugout. It’s very enjoyable, especially being a coach and having the older guys come back after they’ve been out of school since ‘93, ‘94.”
The part of the story to which the title of the story refers has been bolded in the following excerpt.
Milwaukee Brewers prospect Damon Krestalude, a 2008 graduate who pitched the Jaguars into the state championship in 2007, threw an inning before he heads to Arizona on Saturday for the second session of the Brewers’ winter program.
A 17th round pick in the 2008 draft, Krestalude had a 3-4 record in nine starts and a 5.35 ERA for the Helena (Mont.) Brewers last season. He expects to start the upcoming season with the organization’s low-A affiliate, the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, and hopes he’ll make it to Brevard County to play for the high-A Florida State League club in the near future.
40 degrees is nothing.
