A play in the nationally televised baseball game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Oakland A’s on Sept. 14 was of special interest to St. Paul High School. In a close play at the plate, A’s second baseman Mike Gallego threw to catcher Jamie Quirk, who tagged out Eddie Zosky of the Blue Jays. All three played at St. Paul. Quirk graduated in 1972, Gallego in 1978 and Zosky in 1986.
