Delino DeShields

Huge profile of Seaford native Delino DeShields in today's Washington Post about his new coaching life in the minor leagues. One of the very few DeShields articles I've ever read that actually mentions how he chose pro baseball rather than accept a Villanova scholarship to play guard for Rollie Massimino. 


Might Rollie's  career at 'Nova have lasted longer had he been able to land DeShields and Bobby Martin in the early post-national championship years? Probably.
