The team in the 25 division the article talks about it the Trojans.

All 3 brothers are class acts. I have had the opportunity to play with Joey and Micheal in High School at Shaker. I have also had the opportunity to be coached by Brian who was our Connie Mack coach. I had the priviledge of meeting their father in high school when we traveled to Cape Cod and he was the one parent who took me under his wing and I drove with the DP family and other players on our 5 hour journey to the cape. Money was tight at home and Mr. DP never questioned helping me out if I needed anything. He gave me some good advice that week being I was the only non-pitcher invited to play on the varsity team for the weekend. He said Quentin just remember relax and you will do just fine. I ended up going 8 for 9 only getting out my final at bat of the week. He was a very knowledgable man and he made sure his family ecpecially his kids were taken care of.

After reading the article I would have to agree with Brian in that dad is still watching the boys playing and now all 3 playing together as well as the guys they played with or against for so many years while growing up. We all miss you the same because you were like a second dad for some of us Shaker boys. Happy Father's day I know your still watching us.

I wish all 3 brothers well and I look forward to playing them in the playoffs.
