Milwaukee Brewers’ Gindl Inspires Young Baseball Players
November 10, 2014
Northview High School held a baseball clinic Saturday with major leaguer Caleb Gindl of the Milwaukee Brewers.
Participants in the second annual clinic went through hands on training on various aspects of the game and received instruction from Gindl.
Gindl grew up around Molino and went on to play high school ball for the Pace Patriots.
In 2007, Milwaukee selected Gindl in the fifth round of the Major League Baseball draft. He paid his dues year after year in the minors, until he was called up to the Brewers. A week later, he made history for the Milwaukee Brewers as he became the first in franchise history to hit a walk-off for his first MLB homer. It was his very first major league home run.
