What an Exit....!
One personnel issue that always faces American Legion Baseball Managers is players leaving early for college, and Fox Post 2's Will Ross became one of those players as he had to report to the Air Force Academy last week.
That didn't mean that he left the team without some fireworks.
The former Caesar Rodney High star batted 3 for 5 with a home run, and 2 doubles in Fox Post's win over Milford last week.
Fox Post 2's loss is the Air Force's (and our country's) gain. Ross
started for the Dover American Legion Team for 3 years. We think he
probably has a pretty good idea about how to make "shock and awe."
