I knew Rick Monday when we were in college together at Arizona State University back in the 60s. Had a couple of classes with him.

All-American and College Baseball Player of the Year as a sophomore. Led the Sun Devils to the College World Series Championship in 1965.

Rick introduced me to Reggie Jackson between classes one day. He took Monday's place on the Sun Devil squad in center field when Monday became the first player ever selected for the Major Baseball League draft.

Great guys in school. But none of us knew how far their baseball careers would take them. They made the Sun Devils proud.

I remember Monday being the overall No. 1 pick

But I guess had forgotten that it was the first draft ever

Monday, Bando, Jackson . . . all KC A’s
