I added about 12 guys to the college & pro topics last night that i could remember off the top of my head that i'd seen play or heard about over the years and forgot about Al who was probably the most accomplished of all SEO athletes at that level. (Good add) !!!!!

Larry Hisle needs to be added. He and Al played together at Portsmouth I believe.

I saw both Oliver and Hisle play basketball in high school and both play major league baseball. Both class acts.
