Not really, but:
In October 1989, Gophers baseball coach John Anderson went into the Siebert Field grandstand and spoke to some scouts who'd turned out for one of his team's fall scrimmages.
Listen, Anderson said, there's a new kid on campus from Latin America. He hopes to walk on this year. Let me know what you think.
What Anderson knew, and the scouts didn't, was that the kid already had reached the majors. The kid was Omar Vizquel, the same guy who passed Babe Ruth on the career hits list this week.
