by signing up you agree to our terms of service "I'm standing there, thinking about who we're going to pick, and all of a sudden I look next to me and Al Kaline," Monroe said."I said, 'I have always been a big fan of yours. I was born in Detroit. You're one of the reasons I played major league baseball.'"
His pitching talent became apparent when he tried out for the freshman baseball team at Forest View and learned that he was so good, he would be playing for the varsity. "He's a super kid," Seidel said of his 16-year-old junior pitcher, who held Fremd to 3 hits in the championship."He's truly a gentleman off the field and one of the nicest kids I've had the pleasure of working with."It didn't take long for scouts to notice this young phenom. He remembers as many as 40 to 50 scouts watching him and handing out their cards.
Future big-leaguers chosen after Monroe included Rod Scurry, Garry Templeton, Lance Parrish, Willie Wilson, Rick Sutcliffe and Rich Dauer.
