EXACTLY ten years ago today, Columbia baseball capped off it's most successful of one-hundred
thirty-seven baseball seasons, with a 3-0 NCAA tournament victory against University of Miami, in a game played in Coral Gables, FL. Though the Hurricanes came back and ended Columbia's season two days later, his three NCAA tournament wins in 2015 were foundational for everything Brett Boretti's done at Columbia since. And one kid the Lions got steadfast production from in 2015 was another Greek American right-hander, George Thanopoulos from Highland, CA. Thanopoulos was eventually drafted by the Mets and has served as a pitching coach at various West Coast ports of entry; ever since his playing career ended.
Now, I don't know if Alex Sotiropoulos could possibly be available later today; he having pitched three and two-thirds, relief shutout frames last night and for the win; however, Miami head coach, J.D. Arteaga has been part of the Hurricanes' staff these last twenty-two years. Not that I'm a betting man, though I'd doubt the events of ten years ago could be completely lost on Coach Arteaga; and, if he hasn't already done so, I'd surely expect Arteaga to offer his current players a brief history lesson, sometime before 8 pm, E.S.T., this evening.
