EVANSVILLE — It's been surreal for Dr. Lee Kneer to be in this position.
The 1998 North graduate had aspirations of being a baseball player. One of his favorite players growing up was Hall of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith. But he suffered facial fractures after colliding with another player in high school. As the door to his baseball career closed, another door of working in sports medicine opened.
The lifelong Cardinals fan attended Saint Louis University for pre-med because "it was the closest university to Busch Stadium." He worked at Schnuck's before attending medical school in Indianapolis and later completing residency in Utah.
