  1. Your missing two breakout players
    Al Wallace went to Northern Illinois University on full Scholarship
    Brad Kawell went to Northern Illinois University on a full Scholarship
    Brad Kawell played in the Central Illinois Collegiate National Baseball League for the Twin City stars

    ReplyDelete
  2. In addition the 1982 Northern Illinois University baseball is the greatest hitting team in School history

  3. Kawell was also the Most valuable player for the 1982 baseball team at Northern Illinois University.
    He was also voted to the first team all league as a third baseman for the Twin City Stars of the Central Illinois Collegiate Baseball league(A national baseball league for University baseball players)
    Both Wallace and Kawell are still in the record books at Northern Illinois University for hitting.
