The Oregon team is made up of mostly SoCal kids. I really enjoyed watching a bunch of local kids beat them. I know it doesn't make any sense, but I think my resentment of USC had something to do with feeling that way:biggrin:

The Indians, with their 35th pick, selected Kent State infielder Nick Hamilton, son of play-by-play man Tom Hamilton.

"We like Nick's ability to hit," said Grant. "He's a good switch-hitter and at one time had the fifth-highest batting average in the country this year. He can play first, third and some outfield."

"It hasn't even sunk in yet," said Tom Hamilton before Wednesday night's game against Detroit. "I finally got to talk to Nick a couple of minutes ago because they were practicing."

Nick Hamilton is a red-shirt junior. He has the option of signing with the Indians or returning to Kent for his senior year. "We've got two great choices," said Tom Hamilton. "Nick can return to Kent next year or he can sign with a team he's been a fan of forever."

Asked if he ever envisioned calling one of his son's at bats in the big leagues, Hamilton smiled and said, "I'm a little too emotional for that. I'd probably have to let Rosie [broadcast partner Jim Rosenhaus] do that."
