Krauss drafted by Diamondbacks

Marc Krauss of Ohio University (my Alma mater) was drafted 64th overall by the Arizona Diamondbacks. Krauss was a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award and named the 2009 MAC Player of the Year. He started all 53 games for the Bobcats this season and broke OU's single-season homerun record by crushing 27 roundtrippers. Krauss grew up in Deshler, Ohio.

Good luck Marc! I home your career follows the path of another fellow OU baseball alum, Michael Jack Schmidt.

i love it how you always throw the "jack" in there when talking about Mike Schmidt.

I didn't realize until Harry Kalas died, that he was the person who really brought that name into popularity.

That's what my dad calls him, "Michael Jack...," so I guess that's where I picked it up.
