Michael Conforto, 22, is one of just three players ever to compete in the Little League, college and MLB World Series (joining Jason Varitek and Ed Vosberg in that feat) — and he’s the only one to drive in runs in all three.
Michael Conforto’s first World Series appearance — in Little League — is still vivid to Darryl Beliel.
The coach of Redmond North in 2004 remembers Conforto as the youngster on the ballclub — the lone 11-year-old among 12-year olds that earned the coveted trip to Williamsport.
“It sounds silly now, but I had to push for him to get on the team,’’ Beliel recalled.
