Central Michigan juniors Michael Brettell and Daniel Robinson both played in the Cape Cod League this past summer — a league which was once home to Hall of Famers Craig Biggio and Frank Thomas
“I’ve played with (Robinson) the last two summers” Brettell said. “We played school ball and summer ball together, so it’s been fun getting to know Robinson pretty well. We had a lot of fun.”
The Cape Cod Baseball League has been around since 1885. Brettell and Robinson’s team, the Hyannis Harbor Hawks, finished last in the West Division with a 16-25-3 record.
Ron Polk, who head coach Steve Jaksa said is the “father of Southeastern Conference baseball," coached Brettell and Robinson in the Cape Cod League.
