PROGRAM:
Rocky Craig
Rocky admitted to attending school with our own Mike Raney and Gary Zink. Aside from that hurdle Rocky played baseball with Mike R at Mesa College. Rocky went on to play college ball at UC Irvine and played professionally with the Royals and the Padres. He then became a scout for 13 years after retirement. And then the stories began 1, 2, 3……..7 about Indians and Rocky’s ability to make it rain at will or in the case of his daughter’s wedding, to ensure it would not rain…from over 8,000 miles away.
Rocky had fun stories and everyone was totally entertained.
