Zobrist: I was going to a church conference that week in Indiana. It was a Monday around 10 a.m. The tryout was in Brimfield, on the west side of Peoria, the opposite direction. I registered and paid my $50. I ran a 60 (yard dash). I got on the mound and made like 10 pitches. The fastest was 84, I think. I took ground balls, and we got 12 swings as a hitter. I remember thinking: Do I want to bat right-handed? I took six from each side. We were finished by noon. Coach Johnson from Olivet came up and said: “I want to introduce myself. We have a school up near Chicago.” He said it’s a Christian school. “I heard you’re planning to go to Calvary Bible College. If that’s what you feel is God’s will for your life, great.” But he said: “I’ve watched you and I think you’d fit in well with our program.”
