Well, I didn't go to school with anyone who made the majors, and I went to three different high schools. A couple of guys at college went on to have uninspiring carreers in the NHL. But sticking to high school and baseball, my mother graduated from Westerly High School, in Rhode Island, class of either '51 or '52. Amoung the people in her class was Dave Stenhouse, who pitched for the Washington Senators for a few years. My mother ran into him at the 25th reunion. He says that he now sells insurance, and that pitching was the highlight of his life. I guess that there are about 10,000 high schools in the country, and about 200 people a year who make their first appearance in major league baseball. So about 2 percent of us should have been in the same class as a major leaguer, and 14 percent should have just been in the same school at the same time. (assuming 4 year school)
