Cromers Conti sire to get an education. "I went (to the pros) right out of high school, and it was real tough to be on the road all the time and spend a lot of time at, greasy-spoon type places," Roy said. "I wanted them to get an education first and also to develop that mental toughness before they went to pro ball." r Tripp attended Lake City High ' ] 100I and lettered in baseball, basketball, football and tennis. He was a three-year starter at shortstop for USC and batted 357 his last season. In 55 games, he had eight home runs and 44 nms batted in.

"But maybe one day we can play together again." With the great baseball tradition that has developed in the Cromer family, there are similarities that liavc developed between the brothers. "They're all laid back, they don't show too many emotions whether they win, lose or draw, make an error or not make an error, get a base hit or not get a base hit," Raines said. 'That is a good sign of a good ball player." The Cromer Clan has one more member ? 15 year-old Brandon, a sophomore shortstop dl LX^AAIIglUlI Align OltlllAJl. "We have been in contact with him although we're not able to do anything right now, but he comes to a lot of our ballgames," Raines said. "I'm sure that he will make it to this level, it's just a matter of whether he will come to college or what he will do because he is going to probably be the best out < of all of us," D.T. said.
