Rancho Cordova Sports Hall of Fame

1974 American Legion Post 281 Baseball Team

Comprised entirely of Rancho Cordova youth baseball standouts, the team is honored not only for qualifying to play in the California State Championship, but for an outstanding record of accomplishment which followed. The team eventually finished third in the state, but four team members went on to play professional baseball, four competed for junior colleges and seven for colleges, making it one of the most successful youth baseball teams in Rancho Cordova history. The team was coached by Rich Rose and included players Gary Stonebrook, Scott Jenner, George Harper, Walt Hill, Jim Noonan, Warren Brown, Doug Land, Mike Anicich, Jim Deane, Steve Finch, John Ingrim, Mike Hoffiditz, Morgan Jones, Bob Beale and the late Mark Abbondola.
