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.
"I just always liked USC, and
I really wanted to play there,"
Tripp said. "They had a good
program and a good school and
USC was close to home. They
"(Burke and D.T.) came to see the
games a lot and liked it also, so
they decided to come too."
^ Tripp is currently playing in
St. Petersburg, Fla. area for
the Cardinals A farm club.
Burke entered the USC scene
in 1989 after being drafted by the
Pittsburgh Pirates in June of
1988.
He played five different positions
at USC his freshman season
and then took over at shortstop
when Tripp left
Burke is currendy batting .289
with three homers and 29 RBI's
#nd has collected 44 hits after 40
mes.
"Since we were little we
worked together and used the
same work habits. We tried to
outdo each other," Burke said.
D.T. came to USC after being
named to the All-Region team in
four sports at Lexington High
School.
D.T. is batting .325 with five
home runs and 24 RBI's and has
51 hits after 39 games.
^ He was named the Metro Con**
ience Player of the Week earlier
this season after collecting
16 hits in 24 at-bats to raise his
average to the second highest on
USC's team.
"I was blessed with some talent
I guess. My dad helped all
of us a lot," D.T. said. "He really
loves the game and enjoys coming
out to see us play."
When Tripp was a senior in
high school, his younger brothers
were teammates, but the Cromer
clan was not able to join forces

"I was hoping that I'd get to
play with Tripp and Burke here
but I figured he (Tripp) would
leave after his junior year," D.T.
said. "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. J
Watehout Bo, the Cromer clan
knows baseball too. All five of
them.
