1989 Union All-Metro Baseball/Sacramento Union/June 1, 1980
Because prep baseball was my beat, I was given the extraordinary power of single-handedly picked the year’s best players. It was one of the most fun things I was able to do in sports, plus a chance to have a color photo alongside my story. This was the first year of picking the All-Metro team, which featured future major-leaguer Dion James.
