EUGENECISTS, TAKE NOTE :

Like dad, Lockbaum versatile on field (Steve Wieberg, 08/22/2002, USA Today)

Baseball ranks, oh, fourth or so among Gordie Lockbaum Jr.'s sports priorities. Behind track. Behind wrestling. And not surprisingly, behind football.

The name of the just-turned-13-year-old Worcester, Mass., shortstop, whose team plays tonight in the Little League World Series' U.S. semifinals, may ring a bell. His dad, Gordie Sr., is a member of college football's Hall of Fame, a two-way star at Holy Cross who was third in the 1987 Heisman balloting.

If he wasn't likely to go to the dread Holy Cross it might be possible to root for him. Posted by Orrin Judd at August 29, 2002 8:58 AM
