Moving down the alphabet, Better Know a Miller continues with a look at Zachary Blumenfeld. Some believe that many times, having a parent on the coaching staff is a benefit. This is not one of those times.
Name: Zachary Blumenfeld
Number: 36
School: Anthony
Primary positions: P, SS, OF
Zach led the team in HBP with an unofficial 13, and is a candidate for the "Golden Welt" trophy given to the state's most-beaned player. He led the team in several other categories: Triples, K (as pitcher), helmets thrown, times yelled at by coach for not stretching properly, teammates thrown under bus in postgame wrap-up, stink eyes given to assistant coach.
2012 season high point: Dominant pitching effort vs. Edina, over 3 innings, nobody reached base, except one player he beaned. Which, BTW, he promised to do pre-game. Atta boy!
2012 season low point: After yet another helmet-chucking incident, received a parental one-game suspension. As a result, while the rest of the team was scoring 28 runs vs. Roseville, he was a the bat-boy.
Weird habit worth mentioning: Prefers to wear a jersey with his name misspelled.
Most likely to get kicked out of Cooperstown Dreams Park for: Uniform violations. CDP is pretty OCD about unis. Unis must be tucked in, pants worn at the knee, underwear must be ironed, jersey must be clean and washed in between innings and after every slide. Zach is still stuck on tucking in his shirt. We've got a ways to go to get to CDP standards.
