Out of absolutely nowhere, that very same day, the man sent me a message. Just a wild coincidence. It was his last day at the deli, and when Brooks stopped in, he finally worked up the courage to ask his idol for a photo. Brooks of course said yes.
Congratulations to Declan Cronin ‘15, who has been called up to the Chicago White Sox and with his first appearance would become the first Regian to play in a Major League Baseball game. Cronin, a right-handed pitcher, was drafted by the White Sox out of Holy Cross in 2019.
