This is the tale of a trio of former 'Bama baseball players in the professional ranks. I also happen to be extremely close to all three, and their families.
Tommy Hunter,Josh Rutledge,Taylor Dugas: large,medium and small, all at different points in their careers. One is 29 (Hunter), one is 26 (Rutledge) and Dugas is 25. Hunter is 6'3' and 260 pounds with a powerful right arm that throws fastballs up to 100 mph. Rutledge is 6'1, 195 pounds, and runs like a gazelle. Dugas is 5'8" 180 pounds and is known in baseball circles as a "grinder" in the mode of Dustin Pedroia.
