ISU Alums Among Those Hired by Rex

The Terre Haute Rex have begun hiring coaches and staff. Many of the individuals hired have strong ties to ISU. The most famous of which being Brian Dorsett who attended and played baseball for ISU. Dorsett is actually a Prospect League alum and later went on to play in the majors. I was at first disappointed that Terre Haute would not be getting a team with any affiliation to Major League Baseball. But after looking at the alumni of the Prospect League I was surprised. Many players, including Dorsett, have major league experience and some are in the Baseball Hall of Fame. It is also nice to see that individuals who have local connections will be involved in making the Rex a success. With strong local leadership and quality competition, the Rex should be a popular attraction.
