Anybody grow up with a future pro?

[BRM13]

I went to high school with Jim Leyritz who played MLB, most famously for the Yankees (96 WS hero).  He was very good at everything, football, basketball, and baseball.  He quit football after freshman year to save his knees (he was a JV tailback and they used him aggressively).  At that age he and his dad 'knew' he would play in the majors and wanted to protect his future (knee injuries were much harder to overcome in that era).  He took a lot of abuse over his major league pretensions in HS, but he made it.  

He was quick, very strong, and had amazing eye-hand coordination.  He was all-state in baseball i think, and all city in basketball.  I was better than him at golf though.  

My sister-in-law is Larry Fitzgerald's cousin.  He leaves her tickets when Arizona plays the Colts.
