Robert Grilli has been swinging for success since adolescence.

At four years old, he discovered his love for baseball. What he didn’t know then was the places the game would take him.

“Growing up in Canada, I played a number of sports from volleyball, basketball, baseball to hockey,” Grilli said. “My dad put a ball, glove and bat in my hand at the age of four. I have been running around ball diamonds and coming home with dirty uniforms ever since.”

Grilli attended high school at St. Michael’s College School, which has more than 203 alumni who have played in the National Hockey League and 14 inductees in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
