GEORGETOWN {ENTRANCE OFF REAR PARKING LOT) 873-2441 Georgetown’s Gord Burke wast- ed little time in taking the first step towards a pro baseball career. The 20-year-old right-handed * pitcher took part in the Cincinnati Reds rookie camp June 26, and impressed team officials enough that two days later he signed on with te National League organiza- tion. Burke is now with the Reds’ Class A affiliate in Billings, Mont., but has yet to make his pro debut as a starter with the Pioneer League However, the Reds weren’t the only major-league team interested in Burke, who played minor base- ball in Georgetown before leaving to play Inter-County ball in Guelph four years ago. Scouts with the Atlanta Braves, Detroit Tigers, and New York Yankees were in touch with father Kevin Burke about the six-foot-three, 185-pound pitcher. “You can’t believe how often the phone was ringing,” Kevin Burke said. “It’s kind of nice that all of that is now over.” Currently the Normandy Blvd. resident is taking advantage of a full baseball scholarship at Texarkana College in Texas. He played minor league ball in Georgetown for 11 years. Golden age bowlers win gold We know that we are getting on and slowing up a lot, Our hair is grey and thinner, our stomachs gone to pot.
