Greg Goossen, post script

Thanks for all the groovy response to the Greg Goossen story in Saturday's paper (linked here), as well as all the blog sidebars posted with it.

Maybe it was coincidence that also on Saturday, it was West Ranch's Cody Howard -- Goossen's grandson -- who went 3-for-3 with three homers, five RBI and two walks during a 14-13 victory over St. Francis in the Valley Invitational Baseball League tournament (linked here).

West Ranch faces El Camino Real in today's quarterfinals. The finals are at Birmingham High on Friday at 6:30 p.m.
