Germany and Argentina are close, right?
I can just take an extended vacation and visit those two places and catch 4 former Tigers.
With thy watchwords, Honor, Duty / Thy high fame shall last.
I wonder what happen to Jimmy McKinney’s tryout with the Cardinals….I’m sure everyone is just as surprised as I am that it didn’t work out.
Seriously, though, I have to wonder if he would have been playing pro ball here in states if Quin was not his coach. Imagine what MANderson could have done with a talent like that!

ARGH! That name...
I hate that Q word.
Nobody EVER got better under Quin. Nobody. Paulding, Rush, McKinney… nobody ever left CoMO better than they enrolled as a frosh.
