It looks as if Cherington stopped diving in dumpsters and looked in the cabbage patch.:)

Local boy makes good. Trey Cabbage is from Rutledge, TN, about 30 miles east of Knoxville. Remember back 30 years ago when Legion teams and other post-HS teams from around Pittsburgh would come down to Jefferson County, TN to play in tournaments where teams from all over the Eastern US would come in.

Two of the teams I remember well were the team from Highpoint/Butler/McCandless where Matt Clement (former Padre's/Cubs/Boston SP 1998-2006) came with his Father as the Manager, and the Team from Shaler coached by Frank Orga. Before moving to Tennessee, my boys grew up in the hotbed that was Shaler Baseball under HS Coach Jerry Matulevic. When we were growing up, Frank and I played for North Catholic and Jerry was the 2B on the Shaler Team. Jerry and I also played together on the Shaler Legion Team after HS.
