I knew Ralph well even though I haven’t seen him in many years.He played with my brother coming up.I was a few years ahead of them.I played on the ‘69 state championship team and we beat Kathleen in Lakeland for the championship and then beat their asses again that night when they thought they’d come to the hotel talking sHT.
We beat Bucky Dent and his Hialeah team twice that year to win what was then the “ Gold Coast Conference” I think.
Randy Sterling who was the number 1 draft pick for the Mets that year was our main pitcher even though we had a couple other pretty good arms on that team.When he pitched we pretty much stood around waiting for our turn to bat cause he didn’t give up very much when he pitched.
I’m not sure Belen was around then but I may be mistaken.Pace and Columbus were the schools we were always battling with.At one time,not sure if stil tru,Key West had more State Championships In baseball than any HS in Fla.
