CLARKSSUMMIT- The issue of speeders on
Center Street was discussed at the Clarks Sum-
mit borough council meeting July 6.
Janine Port, 408 Center St., approached coun-
cil about the death of her two cats caused by
speeding cars near her home. She said the first
cat was killed in May 2010, while the other was
struck and killed about a year later.
Port said she is worried about other pets and
children since Helping Hands Learning Center, a
child care center, is located nearby.
I felt heartbroken, devastated and powerless
after the death of my pets, Port said. We
shouldnt have to deal with speeders on Center
Street. Port said she was appreciative of the
support fromMayor Harry Kelly, who spent 30
minutes with her after the second cat was hit.
Port added that she witnessed an accident on
her street near the Summit Square Shopping
Center every one of the seven years she has lived
there. Port urged police to install speed bumps or
flashing lights on the road to deter speeders and
thought placing an officer on the street would be
a good source of revenue.
Adelivery driver recently told me that my
road is one of the five most dangerous in Clarks
Summit to deliver on, she said.
Police Chief Lou Vitale informed Port that
monitor boxes are gathering data on the street,
but police cannot begin enforcement until a vehi-
cle surpasses 36 mph.
Another large topic of discussion was the proc-
ess of throwing candy fromfire trucks and other
vehicles during the Memorial Day Veterans
Parade hosted by VFWPost 7069.
Parade chairman Dominick Scott said he is
opposed to putting an end to having candy
thrown to children during the parade because of
the effect if may have on the turnout.
Children come to the parade for the candy,
thats the bottomline, Scott said. Its important
to get the children involved so when they become
adults, they will carry on the tradition.
Vice President Roy Davis said he is not in
favor of eliminating candy at the parade; he
would just like to see an alternative solution. He
proposed having a sponsor hand out candy or
another type of treat, such as freeze pops or pop-

W
hen hes not teach-
ing others to grow
at Jaya Yoga in
Clarks Summit, Alex Du-
bois is mixing things up as
a bartender at Palazzo 53 in
Pittston.
Dubois, 29, has been trav-
eling and moving for most
of his life. He was born in
Connecticut and has lived
in many areas, including
Los Angeles, Massachusetts
and Montreal, Canada.
While in Montreal, he
helped run a coffee shop
and was involved in the
roasting and blending.
When plans to move to
Boulder, Colo. fell through,
Dubois returned to Scran-
ton, where his mother and
sister live. A previous resi-
dent of Scranton, Dubois
said that Its a good place
to come back to.
Dubois began working at
Palazzo 53 when it opened
its door November, 2010.
Working in a bar was a new
experience for him, and he
said he learned the basics of
mixology from the previous
bar manager. After awhile,
he began experimenting
with flavors and self-made
syrups that he said began to
impress owners Chris and
Beth Barcia.
Its been a lot of trial and
error, Dubois explained.
Seven out of ten havent
worked. Beth and Chris
have been really helpful and
inspirational though. We all
believe in what were trying
to do here.
Dubois said that Chris, a
former chef at Clarks Sum-
mits Bazil restaurant,
brings in really fresh and
seasonal food to the res-
taurant/bar. Dubois said he
keeps that theme going with
his self-made syrups and
the other ingredients he
adds to the cocktails. Hes
been able to bring his cre-
ativity to several drinks,
including Alexs Northern
Comfort, a drink he de-
scribed as a northeast ver-
sion of Irish Coffee.
On Thursdays and Sun-
days at noon, Dubois can be
found teaching open yoga
classes at Jaya Yoga on
South State Street in Clarks
Summit. He explained that
he took his first yoga class
three years ago and has
been regularly practicing
for the past year. Dubois
said that he turned to yoga
after hitting a few walls
and wanting to find some-
thing to get himself back
on track.
Yoga has really changed
things for me, he said. Its
intoxicating.
While taking classes at
Prana Yoga in Dunmore, he
met Kelly OBrien and Hil-
ary Steinberg, who now
own Jaya. Dubois has been
teaching and taking classes
at the space since it opened
in April. He describes Jaya
as a really nurturing
space with a location that
is convenient for him. After
classes, Dubois said he of-
ten stops by Everything
Natural to pick up fresh
ingredients to take with him
back to Palazzo 53.
When hes not practicing
yoga or contemporary
cocktail making, Dubois
likes spending time study-
ing art, biking and learning
as much as he can. Al-
though both jobs keep him
pretty busy, he says that
hes really thrilled with
where hes at.

MAYFIELD - Some people
travel to New England in
autumn to see the colors of
the fall foliage. Some visit
Washington, D.C., in the
spring for the Cherry Blos-
som Festival. There are also
those who make a trip to
Mayfieldin the summer to
enjoy the foods and activ-
ities of the annual Corn
and Clam Slam.
The William Walker Hose
Co. Station 59, an all-vol-
unteer fire, rescue and EMT
station located in Mayfield,
will host its 16th annual
Corn and Clam Slam July
13 to 16.
A lot of people plan
their vacation around the
Corn and Clam Slam, said
Jim Perry, firefighter.
At the Slam, people can
enjoy foods, cold beverages,
games, kiddie games, rides,
raffle baskets and live enter-
tainment.
I think its a great place
where people can meet their
friends, said EMT Karen
Bowerman. If people come
to Mayfield, they choose
this weekend.
Besides corn and clams,
the foods will include ham-
burgers, hot dogs, sand-
wiches, big funnel cakes
and fried dough.
The reason why the
foods are so good is be-
cause they are made by
moms in Mayfield, said
Bowerman.
The Corn and Clam Slam
will also have live music
provided by local bands.
Ashleys Attic will perform
July 13, Hillbilly DLux
July 14 and Jeffrey James
Band July 15. Maybe Some-
day will play their music
July 16. Each band will
perform nightly at 8 p.m.
The Slam will also have
a parade July, 16 at 7 p.m.
Local fire companies,
EMTs, marching units and
twirling units will be
marching. The parade will
start on Main Street in
Mayfield, turn right to Pop-
lar Street, turn left onto
Lackawanna Avenue, then
turn onto Chestnut Street
and make its last leg on
Penn Avenue. The parade
will end at the picnic
grounds of the William
Walker Hose Company.
A great thing about the
parade is that all of the
local firefighters and EMTs
will come out to support
us, said Bowerman. In
return, we support them
when they have an event.
The Corn and Clam Slam
was started by firefighter
Tom Jugan. He coined the
phrase Corn and Clam,
said Perry. It was supposed
to be a little event, but it
has grown immensely.
Local businesses in May-
field, such as Windsor Inn,
Debbies Floral, Big Chief
Market, Sterling Pharmacy
and Tuzze Pharmacy, donate
items and gift certificates
for the raffle baskets, which
will be at the Slam. The
William Walker Hose Com-
pany also receives donated
items from businesses such
as Texas Roadhouse and
Dicks Sporting Goods.
The communitys very
generous to us, said Bow-
erman.
The raffle baskets make
the Corn and Clam Slam
the largest fundraiser of the
William Walker Hose Co.
Admission is free, and
there is also no cover
charge for the bands.

Cancer Societys Camp Can
Do. This camp consists of two,
weeklong, experiences for
children with cancer, and for
siblings of those undergoing

It gives children undergoing
cancer treatment a chance to

many of the camp counselors
are survivors who come back to
help continue the fun, said Ott.
The event at State Street Grill

fromlocal band Mace in Dick-
son who have donated their
time. There will also be a raffle
to win a limo ride and a night at
the casino, including gift cards
for the casino.
"I asked Timmie Ott if I
could do something involving
the Cancer Society, but for kids.
I had never heard of Camp Can
Do but I was happy to be in-
volved in sending children to
camp. Our goal is to help send
10 children. I think with the
help and the generosity of the
community we can do it, said
restaurant owner TomHill.
Were happy to do anything we
can for kids, added Hill.In
addition to a basket raffle, col-
lectible bears, designed by
Boyds Bears will be sold for
$25. These bears can be kept or
donated to a child at Camp Can
Do.
Tickets for this event are $20
for an adult and $10 for a chil-
dren up to age12. Price in-
cludes: hamburgers,
hot dogs, cold salads,

During his inspirational

in the battle against polio. He
encouraged Rotarians to keep
fighting, saying Your work has
brought us so far: 99 percent of
the way there. This last one
percent will be the longest,
hardest 1percent. Itll require
more work and commitment
than ever before. But Im100
percent convinced, that this fight
is winnable. Weve never stop-
ped at 99 percent before. We are
this close.
Your work. Your voices.
Your continuing commitment.
These are the things that will
allowus to end the story...and
close the book.
If youd like to be part of this
milestone, contact any Rotary
member to make a donation.

has been filled with lots of activ-

Recently I went to the coastal
beach region, where there had
been many slavesbetween
1,600 and1,800because some
of the best cacao (coco) is from
this region. June 23 is the cele-

wonderful chocolate is grown
right here along the Caribbean

cure, said Lauren, 9, of
Dalton. Were just trying to
get him there. He just has to
go do special surgeries, and
he doesnt have enough
money for all that so we
just want to help him.
Lauren organized the lem-
onade stand after making
lemonade one day.
She brought the idea to
her siblings, cousins and
friends who were in favor of
it. The group wanted to
donate the money to a
cause, and Laurens grand-
mother, Gerrie Carey, sug-
gested giving the money to
Brunetti.
The group raised $52 the
first day and presented it to
Brunetti at his home. Carey
said he was very apprecia-
tive of the childrens effort.
He was really elated with
the fact that these kids are
doing this, said Gerrie Ca-
rey.
While Brunetti was more
than happy with the money
donated, the children felt
they could raise more, and
have decided to keep the
lemonade stand open for the
rest of the summer.
In addition to the lemon-
ade stand, the group is also
selling baked goods and ice
tea at $.50 each, as well as
solar lights for $5. The solar
lights are being donated by
Gerrie Carey, with all the
proceeds going to Brunetti.
If you buy a solar light it
shows that you support Mi-
chael, said Lauren. We
told Michael to look for
solar lights, they support
you.
Lauren said its the group
goal to get the solar lights
in every yard in the area. In
addition to the lemonade
stand, the children plan to
go door-to-door selling
them.
They said Brunetti is go-
ing to provide them a photo
of himself that will be put
on the solar lights, so peo-
ple will be able to more
easily recognize who the
lights support.
The lemonade stand will
be open every Monday and
Friday for the rest of the
summer
Lauren said they usually
open the stand at approxi-
mately 10 a.m. and close
around 4 or 4:30 p.m., with
a lunch break around 11 a.m.
Those interested in sending
a monetary donation can send
checks, made payable to the
Michael Brunetti Trust, to 172
Handley St., Archbald, PA
18403.

Clarks Summit, Pa. JULY 13 TO JULY 19, 2011 50
CLARKS SUMMIT- Pride Lands
Brazilian jiu-jitsu has shown much
growth since its beginning almost
three years ago. Lead instructor
Jason Ratchford started his acade-
my in Old Forge with only about
10 students. After outgrowing that
space, the studio moved to Scran-
ton before settling at its current
location at 919 Northern Blvd.,
Clarks Summit, March 1, where it
now includes more than 60 stu-
dents.
I noticed that I was getting
students from different areas of
Clarks Summit, Scranton and Old
Forge, and from the luck of God, I
ended up here, Ratchford said.
Its a location where I am able to
meet all the needs of all my stu-
dents who travel. The academy just
keeps getting bigger and bigger.
We have a great group of stu-
dents.
The martial arts studio offers
programs in Brazilian jiu-jitsu;
Brazilian jiu-jitsu for children,
wrestling; and mixed martial arts
(MMA) and features more than
2,750 square feet of training area.
I started the academy to share
my love of jiu-jitsu with other peo-
ple and to show jiu-jitsu to them,
Ratchford said. Also because I
believe jiu-jitsu can help you better
understand yourself on and off the
mat. I really relate everything I do
in life to jiu-jitsu. I really love to
teach and I love to see people re-
ach their goals.
Ratchford thinks there are many
advantages for the average person
to begin training in jiu-jitsu.
It helps you to be able to under-
stand your own emotions and fears
or for just getting into shape, he
said. Everybodys goals are differ-
ent. Some people want to compete,
some people just want to simply
learn to defend themselves and
some people want to learn how to
have a better exercise program in
their life.
I believe there are a lot of men-
tal, spiritual and physical benefits.
In Ratchfords opinion, Pride
Lands is the best place for jiu-jitsu
training because of the quality of
the instructors and their passion for
teaching.
The instructors here dont hold
anything back, he said. My goal
is simpleits for you to defeat
me. I want to see my students sur-
pass me because that is a repre-
sentation of how well I teach. I
take pride in seeing my students
reach their goals and being able to
catch me. I dont hold any secrets
back. I train twice a week with the
Brazilians in New York City. I
bring everything back here and
teach it to my students. Its just a
great atmosphere, everybody
shares with each other. Were like a
big family.
Students were recently promoted
by Professor Ailson Jucao Brites
June 26. A black belt was awarded
to Jason Ratchford, a purple belt
was awarded to Gregg Germano, a
blue belt was awarded to Sarah
Stevens, Scott Burgess and Kyle
Gillette and an orange belt was

WILKES- BARRE- Derek Jeter entered
into an exclusive club after recording his
3,000th career hit, and author Ian
OConnor is eager to tell readers how
Jeter got there.
A sports columnist, currently writing
for ESPNNewYork.com and host of the
radio show1050 ESPN in New York,
OConnor will be signing copies of his
book, The Captain: The Journey of
Derek Jeter, at Barnes and Nobles in
Wilkes -Barre July 16, from1 to 3 p.m.
Jim Brozzetti, whos affiliated with
the Yankees Scranton AAA team, is a
friend of mine and he helped arrange it,
said OConnor.
The book was released in May to coin-
cide with the date Jeter was expected to
reach 3,000 hits. An injury in June put
the Yankee captain on the disabled list,
delaying the milestone until July 9.
While there are four other former
Yankee players to record 3,000 hits
Wade Boggs, Paul Waner, Dave Win-

the first to do so while playing for New
York, and many Yankee fans would not

CLARKS SUMMIT- New
opponents will not be the only
change the Abington Heights
High School girls volleyball
team will have to adjust to this
season.
After switching from the
Wyoming Valley Conference
to the Lackawanna League for
the 2011-2012 school year in
June, the school district an-
nounced that Michael Labagh
will replace Dan Phillips as the
teams head
coach.
The
Abington
Heights
School
Board ap-
proved the
hiring dur-
ing its
monthly
meeting June 22.
The Dallas resident, who has
spent the last three seasons
coaching the Dallas High
School team, said the job came
somewhat by chance.
Its a funny story, actually,
said Labagh. I had an in-
ternship at PNC Bank (in
Scranton) and I was ap-
proached to help out with
another internship opportunity
with Abington Heights Educa-
tional Improvement Orga-
nization.
Our first meeting was at the
Abington Heights (School
District) Administrative Build-
ing, and I think I just brought
up that I coached volleyball in
Dallas.
Word traveled fast, and by
the time Labagh made it back
to PNC, he received a call
from Superintendent Michael
Mahon.
I thought I was in trouble
my first day on the job, said
Labagh. But he said, Rumor
has it you have some knowl-
edge about volleyball.
Labagh had a little more
than some knowledge. A vol-
unteer assistant for Dallas
High School in 2009, he be-

came a paid assistant in 2010
and was then made head
coach in 2011 at the request
of exiting head coach Jason
Rushmer.
During his time there, the
team improved from a 6-10
record in 2009 to a 10-6 re-
cord in 2011.
I think part of it was luck,
and the other part was imple-
menting my own philosophy
as a coach, said Labagh of
the teams improvement.
I coach swimming as well
for an age group team, and
one thing I really push is
being an athlete first and a
swimmer second, or a volley-
ball player second. So, Im
going to implement a lot of
strength and conditioning
workouts and speed and
agility workouts.
The new coach said, once
implemented, the new work-
outs will help strengthen an
already strong Lady Comets
team.
While he hasnt met his
new team yet, he had the
opportunity to watch them
play a few times last year and
was impressed.
I was a PIAA official, so I
did one or two of their
games, and what I saw was
some pretty strong volley-
ball, said Labagh. Im
pretty excited to come here to
an already established pro-
gram.
The Lady Comets finished
last season with an appear-
ance in the District 2 Class
AAA finals. Despite switch-
ing to the Lackawanna
League, Labagh is confident
his team has the potential to
repeat last years success.
The AHHS girls volleyball
team will begin practice

game is scheduled for Sept.

Colleen Murphy, head wom-
ens soccer coach at The Uni-
versity of Scranton, has an-
nounced the appointment of
Michael Shenigo as full-time
assistant coach.
Shenigo spent the past seven
seasons as a player and assist-
ant coach at Lynchburg Col-
lege in Lynchburg, Virginia,
where he earned a Bachelor of
Arts degree in sports manage-
ment with minors in coaching
and business and a Master of
Business Administration de-
gree (MBA).
As an assistant coach with
the Hornets nationally-recog-
nized womens soccer program,
Shenigo worked primarily with
the goalkeepers and defenders.
During this span (2008-2010),
Lynchburg College posted an
overall record of 56-7-10 (.815)
that included two Old Domin-
ion Athletic Conference
(ODAC) titles (2008, 2010)
and three NCAA Division III
championship appearances.
The Royals are coming off a
16-5-2 record that included
their second Landmark Confer-
ence title in four years and a
second-round loss to eventual
semifinalist and then 9th-
ranked William Smith College
in the NCAA Division III tour-
nament. In three seasons as
head coach, Murphy, a former
Royal standout, has led Scran-
ton to a 40-17-3 record (.690).
The Royals will open their
2011 season Sept. 1, against
York College in York, Penn-
sylvania, beginning at 4:30

have it any other way.
Ive met him a few times
and hes one of the finest gen-
tlemen Ive ever met, said
Brozzetti. Hes never in trou-
ble, he gives 100 percent. If I
was going to make a baseball
player, it would be him.
It would not be hard to find
a fan to echo Brozzettis senti-
ments. I think for most Yan-
kee fans hes an iconic figure,
but, like Joe DiMaggio, we
know very little about him
personally, said OConnor.
The goal for this book was
to get closer to the real human
being, and what makes him
tick, and people who have
read it have told me they feel
they know much more than
they knew going in.
OConnor conducted more
than 200 interviews with peo-
ple who knew Jeter, going all
the way back to elementary
school, talking to classmates,
teachers, teammates and
coaches from high school, the
minors and then the major
leagues.
He also talked to the man
himself, interviewing Jeter at
his locker during the 2009
season.
These interviews were in
addition to countless one-on-
one and group interviews with
the shortstop that OConnor
has conducted while covering
the team over the past 16 sea-
sons.
Because of a working rela-
tionship that has lasted almost
20 years, OConnor said Jeter
was willing to participate and
help out with the book.
The only time he expressed
any concern was in April
when the New York Post, who
received an advance copy of
the book, ran an article that
suggested the book mainly
dealt with a feud between
Jeter and Yankee third base-
man Alex Rodriguez, but
OConnor explained that the
article was an exaggeration.
Its in there (the feud), but
its a small part, said OCon-
nor. Its a largely positive
book about a largely positive
guy.
While the book generates a
positive image, it also exposes
some characteristics of Jeters
personality that are normally
kept out of the spotlight.
He does have human im-
perfections, said OConnor.
Hes overly sensitive to crit-
icism, he can hold a grudge
for a long time and there were
times around the 2006 season
when he could have been a
better captain.
These imperfections, which
are small especially when
compared to the scandals
many of todays baseball play-
ers find themselves in, are just
part of the story of a man who
grew up to play for the team
he loved since he was child.
Its almost like he willed
himself to be a Yankee, said
OConnor. He would tell
people in grade school he was
going to grow up and be
shortstop for the New York
Yankees.
Jeters dream looked un-
likely to come true the day of
the 1992 MLB draft. Rumors
abound that the Houston As-
tros and Cincinnati Reds, who
both had picks ahead of the
Yankees, had an eye on Jeter.
Hal Newhouser, who was a
scout for the Astros, said, If
you dont draft Jeter with the
first pick in the draft, I will
resign, said OConnor.
They didnt and he did.
The Astros selected Phil
Nevin that year, and the Reds
selected Chad Mottola with
the fifth pick, leaving Jeter
free to be selected by New
York.
Since then, he has been a
key component in five World
Series victories. Jeter has been
selected for 12 All-Star teams
and won five Golden Gloves.
These accomplishments
have led Jeters name to be
included in conversations and
debates regarding the greatest
Yankees of all time.
Hes obviously not the
players that Ruth, Gehrig,
DiMaggio and Mantle were,
but if the Mount Rushmore is
Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio and
Mantle, I think that Jeter
would be on that second tier.
I think hes one of the top
10 greats, Id rank him at num-
ber six after Yogi (Berra).
OConnor will be on hand
for a brief question and an-
swer session that will take
place before the book signing
at 1 p.m.

Im very proud of my
students here, how great
theyve become and how
much theyre improving,
Ratchford said. Every day
theyre getting better. Its
scary to see how good some
of these guys are getting.
According to Ratchford,
achieving the rank of black
belt took many years of hard
work and dedication.
Ive been training for 15
years and I just got my black
belt the other day from my
master, he said. Im his
first American black belt. All
of his other black belts are
Brazilian. Hes handed out
black belts twice in America
before, but they were both to
athletes of Brazilian descent.
Sarah Stevens, the sister of
Jason Ratchford, was over-
joyed by the success the team
has been able to achieve.
It was an unbelievable and
an emotional day for me, she
said. I was so proud of my
brother, myself, and all my
teammates who were promot-
ed. My brothers Jason and
Matthew work so hard and
are outstanding teachers, but
most importantly are great
brothers and friends to the
entire team.
Assistant instructors at
Pride Lands include Matt
Ratchford, Josh Serfass,
Brian Durkin and Gregg Ger-
mano. The studio also has
fight teams for Brazilian
jiu-jitsu and MMA. Team
members include Marty
Flynn, Mike Baresse, Dave
Morgan, Andre Lopez and
Roy Gonzalez.
Matt Ratchford cherishes
the time spent training with
his brother and thinks Jason
offers high quality instruction
for anyone interested in com-
petition fighting.
Jasons my big brother, so
training with him everyday is
the greatest thing I ever got
out of my life, he said. Ive
trained with him since I was a
little kid. Everything Ive
learned in jiu-jitsu has come
from him.
Hes probably the best
tournament fighter around. If
you want to be a competition
guy, no one is gonna get you
ready better that my brother,
he added. If youre looking
to compete, hes the best guy
to come train with. Im not
just saying that because hes
my brother, hes proven. The
best way to learn competition
style fighting is from some-
one who competes all the
time.
Jason Ratchford won first
place in both the medium-
weight and absolute (open-
weight) class April 16 at the
New York International Open
Jiu-Jitsu Championship host-
ed by the International Brazi-
lian Jiu-Jitsu Federation in
City College, N.Y.
Serfass listed Ratchfords
intelligence and attention to
detail as two reasons why he
is a top instructor.
He adapts to everyone,
Serfass said. Different body
types work in different ways.
Something that works for a
guy that is long and lanky
isnt necessarily gonna work
for the same for someone that
is short and stocky. Hes able
to tweak things to each indi-
vidual and everybody here
gets a fair amount of atten-
tion.
Germano thinks Ratch-
fords ability to communicate
well with a diverse group of
people and his experience
fighting against the best com-
petition makes him a quality
instructor.
Hes great with all spec-
trums of age groups: kids,
adults, and older people,
Germano said. He goes to
different places as far as New
York and New Jersey for
seminars to bring the upper
echelon black belt instruction
back to the region.
The price for adults to train
at Pride Lands Academy is
$100 per month. According to
Ratchford, adult classes are
open mostly every day. The
academy has started having
morning classes and is ex-
panding with a much bigger
student base. Children can
train for $90 per month. The
childrens program is offered
three days each week.

Cory Spangenberg finally
came out of a game for the
first time as a professional
baseball player Monday
night, July 11.
A standing ovation from
the crowd of 2,212 at PK
Park in Eugene, Ore. saluted
Spangenbergs efforts in
getting the Emeralds off to
the best record in profes-
sional baseball at 21-4.
Spangenberg left the game
in the top of the ninth in-
ning with the Emeralds
beating the Yakima Bears,
6-2. His work in Eugene
was done.
Less than a month into his
professional career, Span-
genberg earned his first
promotion. The 20-year-old
Abington Heights graduate
is headed to Fort Wayne,
Ind. to play for the San Die-
go Padres full-season Class
A team in the Midwest
League.
Before leaving Eugene,
Spangenberg raced his way
into the Northwest League
leaders in yet another offen-
sive category.
Spangenberg stole six
bases in eight games
through Sunday, giving him
10 on the season, third-best
in the league.
After reaching base at
least twice in his first 22
games, Spangenberg has
still reached at least once in
all 25. He leads the league
in on-base percentage at
.545 and walks with 31 and
is tied for the lead in runs
scored with 20 and doubles
with 10.
The kids destined to be a
big-leaguer, Emeralds man-
ager Pat Murphy told the
Eugene Register-Guard. He
plays the game the right way
-- thats what Im most
proud of, is being associated
with a guy that plays the
game the right way.
Its evident every day. He
doesnt play the right way
nine out of 10 times, he
plays the right way all the
time. Its in him.
Spangenberg is second in
the league in batting average
(.384) and hits (33), third in
stolen bases and on-base
percentage plus slugging
percentage (1.080), tied for
third in RBI (20) and sixth
in slugging percentage
(.525).
Its a great feeling to
know your hard work is
paying off, Spangenberg
told the Register-Guard.
Spangenberg was the 10th
overall pick in this years
Major League Baseball
Draft.
