Judges 65, Bowdoin 62
Willie Randolph is a former Major League Baseball player, coach and manager. Throughout his lengthy career, he won six World Series championships, was awarded the Silver Slugger award and is a Monument Park honoree. At the age of 65, Randolph is currently still contributing his expertise to the sport he loves as one of the coaches for the United States Baseball team. Randolph was born in Brownsville, Brooklyn and started playing for the New York Yankees at the young age of 21. Even though he was young,as he explained in an interview with the Justice, “I always played against and with guys that were older than me, so I was never really intimidated. I would get maybe a little anxious—I think that it is ok to be anxious.” At a young age, Randolph played baseball and tried to perfect his craft. Even though hitting a baseball is one of the hardest things to do in sports and most people claim that you have to be born with the talent, he believes that “you can be born with certain gifts, guys, but you really have to work on your craft and practice and you have to really love the game because it is a really frustrating game.”
