Sticking to our political theme, are you aware that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was baseball captain at Yale, where he teamed with former Red Sox lefthander Craig Breslow?
DeSantis grew up in Dunedin, Fla., spring home of the Blue Jays, and played on a Little League team that went all the way to Williamsport. His Dunedin High School team beat future big leaguer Rick Ankiel in a state semifinal, and DeSantis batted .313 in four seasons at Yale.
Late President George Bush was Yale’s captain in 1948 and was famously photographed with Babe Ruth when the dying Bambino came to New Haven that spring.
