There are giants walking this wonderful earth and they live in our midst…we seldom recognize them…they go about their way doing things that mortal man cannot do…they perform magic and touch lives…in return they never seek praise or rewards for their actions because to them their feats are common place…

Bobby garnered 16 letters in four sports…which means he lettered in all four sports all four years during his high school days…this feat is remarkable in that he had to be talented enough to letter in all 4 sports his Freshman and Sophomore years…      

The members to this very select club are few…how sad it is that we wait until they are gone to realize how fortunate we were to have walked the earth with giants like Bobby “BoBo” Baria…
