Former
Cooperstown Dreams Park Players Played in 2008 World
Series
|
Two former Dreams Park players were a part
of the 2008 World Series which featured the Tampa
Bay Rays against the Philadelphia Phillies. Rays
righthander Matt Garza, who played for the
Central Valley Baseball Club from Fesno, California
at Dreams Park in 1996 and was drafted 25th in the
2005 Major League Plalyer draft, was named the 2008
American League Championship Series Most Valuable
Player going 2-0 with a 1.38 earned run average
while playing against the Boston Red Sox. He also
appeared as a starting pitcher in the 2008 World
Series.

His teammate with the Rays, David
Price, a 1998 Dreams Park player with the
Tennessee All Stars was drafted #1 overall in the
2007 Major League Player draft, picked up his first
major league save in the 2008 ALCS against the Red
Sox and also appeared in the 2008 World Series
against the Phillies. After a very good spring
training with the Rays David started the 2009
season with the AAA Durham Bulls but has since been
called up for his return to the bigs and is in the
Ray's starting rotation.
Congratulations to both Matt Garza and
David Price for their outstanding
accomplishments! Both appear to have a bright
future in "Living their Dreams" in the major
leagues.
