He brought a great presence with him on the mound, and at the plate (yes, he was a PHENOMONAL hitter too). Noted he did go 0-8 as a junior, those losses were ALL because of horrible defense. Contact the school for his stats and you will see that his ERA if i remember correctly Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235991369814171983.post-67162401267895710782009-08-18T09:49:40.295-04:002009-08-18T09:49:40.295-04:00I played with Kevin James and knew him my entire l...I played with Kevin James and knew him my entire life.
