In a feature from Black Athlete Sports Network on basketball great Dave Bing, I learned the following:
One university that didn't recruit him was Princeton, exactly where Bing wanted to go. He and his 3.1 grade-point average applied, but the school said no.
Bing went on to Syracuse, but he never forgot how he felt.
"For the first time in my life, I was rejected because somebody told me that I wasn't good enough. . . . I was devastated! I decided (on) my second choice, Syracuse University, and I made up my mind that I would never again put myself in a position where I would have to face rejection,"

C. Young (6-3) - 6.2 IP 7 H 3 ER 1 BB 3 K 2.34 ERA. 109 pitches, 75 strikes.
