Carolina carries mean 1-2 punch on the mound

Posted Jun 6, 2006

Jim Wells was having lunch last week when the Alabama baseball coach got a rare opportunity to really peruse his newest Sports Illustrated. It seems his wife, Lisa, who is a sports buff as well, tends to grab, and occasionally horde, Wells' copy of the weekly glossy. "So I'm reading a story about Jimmy Leyland, then I switched over and it's a story on the two first-rounders from North Carolina, and I went, 'Oh, no. Two of them?'" (Mobile Press-Register)
