Alhambra alum, Noe Ramirez
Great to see Alhambra alum Noe Ramirez get called up again by the Boston RedSox.
Ramirez played in 108 games for the Moors over four varsity seasons (2005-2008) and piled up some big numbers.
A .413 batting average, 3 home runs, 84 Rbis, and 147 hits.
On the mound, the place where he makes his living nowadays, Ramirez started 37 games, completed 19 of them, fired 7 shutouts, collected 11 saves, and compiled a 27-7 record. He worked 250 innings, walked 40, and K’d 298 while holding batters to a .180 average.
Ramirez was drafted in the fourth round by the Red Sox in 2011 out of Cal State Fullerton. He made his MLB debut last July.
He replaces Joe Kelly on the Boston roster.
“Anyone who has a kid trying out for his High School football team needs to read this book. Torosian has taken his 20 some years of reporting on Prep sports, mixed a healthy dose of San Gabriel Valley insider references and created a very readable first effort.”
“A page turner…I’m sorry it’s over! Is a sequel in the works?”
“Torosian does for high school football what Hemingway did for the Spanish Civil War…compelling look beyond the scoreboard and into the lives of players…”
“A truly great story unfolds in the pages of Joe Torosian’s first novel. With high school football at its core, the story of Dale Andrade shows how a young man grows in all aspects of his life thanks to being a part of a team and a football community.”
“This is a great read for everyone: from those who love high school football to those who have no idea about the game.”
“This book brings you onto the field and into the locker room…”
