Special Lucky Seven Issue Unveiled at Mickey Mantle’s
New York, NY – August 17, 2007: Rutgers University All-America shortstop Todd Frazier and Army closer Milan Dinga are among 17 players honored as Gotham Baseball Magazine announced the Second Annual Division I Post-Season All-Gotham Team. Frazier and Dinga are the only two players who were named to last season’s inaugural team.
Army and St. John’s University each had three players selected, as ace lefthander Nick Hill and pitcher/outfielder Cole White joined fellow Cadet Dinga on the squad. The Red Storm were represented by left-hander Scott Barnes, second baseman Sam DeLuca and designated hitter Ryan Mahoney.
Rutgers, who shared the regular season Big East championship with St. John’s, was named the Gotham Baseball Team of the Year. Outfielder David Williams joined Frazier as the Scarlet Knights’ representation on the team. Northeast Conference champion Monmouth University was represented by Brad Brach and Andy Meyers, two key components in the Hawks’ NEC Tournament title.
Hoftsra University’s Matt Prokopowicz, who hit .416, was the lone freshman selected to the team.
Manhattan, Sacred Heart, Fordham, Quinnipiac and New York Tech were also represented on the team.
Seven players (Nick Hill, Brad Brach, Scott Barnes, Jay Monti, Milan Dinga, Todd Frazier and Cole White) were selected to Gotham Baseball Magazine’s pre-season team, featured in the magazine’s previous issue.
“This team represents only the tip of a very talented mountain of outstanding players in the Gotham area,” said Chip Armonaitis, Gotham Baseball’s college baseball editor. “There are at least another 10 players who had legitimate cases to make this team.”
