• For Rays catcher Kenny Piper, a childhood dream becomes 'surreal' life (tampabay.com) — A former Hazelwood Central High student from Florissant has turned a long-shot baseball dream into a real shot at sticking with the Tampa Bay Rays as a catcher. The story traces how his under-recruited high school days in Florissant and NAIA ball at Columbia College eventually led to a late-round draft pick, years in the minors, and now his first big-league hits and homer.
