I had heard of Glenn Abbott, but never knew of the connection to UCA.

just found out that Abbott never actually pitched at SCA (UCA) but that he did attend classes at the school in the fall of the off seasons.

A.J. Burnett use to work out with UCA in the winter. His best friend Ted Pinney was a catcher for the Bears. UCA made AJ the player he is today. :lol:
