Ian Kadish, WHS '07, featured in Honker Highlight

Ian Kadish, a Wyoming Class of 2007 member who plays college baseball at Marshall, is playing this summer in the Northwoods League for the Rochester (Minn.) Honkers.

Here is a video game wrapup, better known as a Honker Highlight, from the July 2nd game vs. the league leading St. Cloud Riverbats.  Ian is featured starting at about 45 seconds into the 1:19 video.  I won't spoil what happens, but just to set it up he comes on to pitch with one out in the ninth, runners on 2nd and 3rd, and the Riverbats having already closed a 5-0 Honker lead to 5-3 earlier in the ninth.  What's going to HAPPEN?????

(I would love to post more about Wyoming alums playing sports beyond WHS.  Please send me updates at wyoroundup@gmail.com).

Random Sports Fact

The Aztec and Maya Indians of Mexico and Central America played a complicated kind of ball game not unlike lacrosse. The game, played in a large stadium and witnessed by thousands of spectators, went on for several hours. When the game was finished, the captain of the losing team was slaughtered before the onlookers, his body torn limb from limb, and pieces of his heart passed among the crowd for members of the audience to nibble.
