On this day off from baseball, I thought we should take a quick look at the former Valley Leaguers who are heading to the playoffs now that the major league regular season is over.
Boston Red Sox: Brad Ziegler (New Market 2000), Robby Scott (Covington 2010), but I doubt Scott will be on the playoff roster.
Cleveland Indians: Jason Kipnis (Covington 2006-07)
Washington Nationals: Daniel Murphy (Luray 2004-05), Clint Robinson (Harrisonburg 2005-06)
New York Mets: Eric Campbell (Luray 2006), Josh Edgin (Winchester 2007) (But both will probably not be active in the playoffs)
Chicago Cubs: Tommy La Stella (Haymarket 2009)
Los Angeles Dodgers: Adam Liberatore (Waynesboro 2007-08)
San Francisco Giants: Mac Williamson (Harrisonburg 2011), but he’s on the 60-day disabled list, and Javier Lopez (New Market 1996).
Thanks for this great info, John.
A nice legacy from this league. Here’s hoping LaStella makes it to the World Series! Go Cubs!
