YVHS 83

Good bye Mr. Greenwood. A favorite of mine at YV back in 1980-1983. He gave me a shot in the dark to play outfield my sophomore year.
When the infield was packed with talent I asked to play outfield and Wes put extra time into hitting me mile high fly balls in the green fields
of Ygnacio Valley. I only wish I could have kept my commitment to Baseball. The British Wave of metal tool over my life and I started hitting Def Leppard, Saxon, Judas Priest and other concerts. I lost my drive and didn’t get along with the head coach of Varsity causing my departure from YV baseball. But Metal Matt was born and that story took many turns years later.
