Jorge Pascual, In Time - 3203

-
Jorge Pascual made it to Aquinas Junior College just in time.

Pascual was one of six players credited as coming out of the school and going on to play professionally.

Pascual was also one of the last to come out of Aquinas and play professionally. After a move to four-year status in 1994, the school disbanded its athletics programs.

Pascual's professional career ended up being a brief one. It began and ended in 1990.

Pascual turned pro out of Aquinas after being taken by the Phillies in the 10th round of the draft. His ProCards card shows Pascual as a native of the Dominican Republic.

With the Phillies, the infielder Pascual was assigned to rookie Martinsville. He got into 37 games there and hit .233. He hit one home run, knocked in 13 and stole two bases. Those 37 games marked the extent of Pascual's professional career.

Sam August saw 8 pro seasons, then returned to surfing

Asheville hurler Sam August earned praise from his manager in this August 1987 game, throwing a four-hitter while striking out 10, The Asheville Citizen-Times wrote . "Sam really did a super job tonight," Asheville manager Keith Bodie told The Citizen-Times . "He did a great job mixing up his pitches and staying ahead of the hitters. ... I thought Sam did a great job keeping  their hitters off-balance." For August, he continued to work to keep hitters off-balance over eight pro seasons . He topped out at AA. But balance itself had been a part of August's life before baseball and since - as in balance on a surf board. August's father Robert August became a legendary surfer in the 1960s, featured in the seminal surfing documentary "The Endless Summer." His son has continued the tradition, working with his father's surfboard business and coaching the sport himself. "It just dawned on me one day that I was a surfer," Sam August told T...

Texas' Coppell High School lost the game and lost the pitcher The Fort Worth Star-Telegram described as the team's ace, Steve Boatman , then 13-2. Coppell's opponent Carroll High saw three players hit doubles in the 7-2 win, "but the biggest blow" came with a single lined off Boatman's foot, forcing him from the game and possibly braking his ankle, The Star-Telegram wrote . However serious the injury was, Boatman came back and soon turned pro. His pro career ultimately lasted two seasons. He played both in rookie ball. Coppell's career began in 1989, taken by the Astros in the 42nd round of the draft out of Coppell High. At Coppell, Boatman also played on the football team  in 1988. In May 1989 in baseball, Boatman gave up just one hit in a win.  Though drafted in 1989, Coppell didn't hit the field for the Astros until 1990, in the rookie Gulf Coast League . He got into 13 games, starting 10. He went 3-4, with a 3.12 ERA. He then returned tp the GCL...
