http://photos.syracuse.com/4456/gallery/lemoyne_graduate_eddie_de_la_cruz/index.html#/0Eddie is like a big brother to me. When I was growing up, he was a local star with the hometown ball team (The Auburn Phillies-he lived across the street from me then). He effed up his shoulder and his ball career was over, unfortunately. But, he went to work in the local steel mill to support his family.
40 years later, he's received his degree from LeMoyne College.
God speed, my friend!!!!
