The St. Louis Cardinals open their 2023 MLB season at home on Thursday against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Once again, experts see the Cardinals are seen as a good, but not great team. They will fly under radar entering this season.
A small number of high school coaches, during the course of their careers, have a player ultimately reach the majors. An even smaller number have a player reach the majors who becomes an All-Star. Well, Gonzales had two players reach the majors. And both became All-Stars. And both were on the same high school team at the same time.
The Cardinals’ Arenado was a senior at the school in Lake Forest, Calif., while the Blue Jays’ Chapman was his teammate as a sophomore.
“Talking about them never gets old,” said Gonzales, who is in his 23rd year coaching at El Toro.
