Fourth swing at Petco back in May before their game with Washington
Good for you... as the "Summer of Johnny" continues...
He was drafted 837th overall by the Padres... a bit of a drop from 22nd overall...

Class Move: Cory Hahn Drafted By Diamondbacks
((HT: ESPNU))
For those of you not familiar...
Hahn was a standout at Mater Dei High School before heading to Arizona State University to play college ball...
Playing in his third game as a freshman, Hahn was paralyzed from the chest down after sliding head-first while trying to steal a base against New Mexico in February 2011.
He has spent the past two years helping with Arizona State's program.
Here's Hahn's story when the four-letter caught up with him...
Diamondbacks president Derrick Hall said he hopes to have Hahn as an employee with an undetermined role in the organization.
So, without a doubt, Derrick Hall gets the "good guy" award for the day... and the HQ hopes that Hahn keeps serving as an example for anyone around...

OSG High: 2 Georgia Kids Drafted In The Top 10
((HT: MyFoxAtlanta))
The worst kept secret of the 2013 MLB Draft, other than there actually being a draft, was the story that two kids that grew up playing against each other got drafted in the Top 10.
Clint Frazier and Austin Meadows played at Loganville (GA) High and Grayson (GA) High, respectively.
The one game the two schools played against each other this season (since the schools aren't in the same classification) turned into a traffic nightmare and a standing room only crowd that included guys like Cubs GM Theo Epstein.
Here's the recap on the drafts and the parties from FOSG Cody Chaffins...

Mark Appel, the hometown kid for the Houston Astros, went first overall from Stanford University.
Don't be surprised if he's up at the parent club very soon- since they need all the help they can get.
