Al Hrabosky, left, was one of the top relief pitchers of the 1970s, most of which he spent with the St. Louis Cardinals. Look him up at wikipedia.
Hrabosky, known as “The Mad Hungarian” (again, look him up), is being inducted in the Savanna athletics hall of fame Tuesday at halftime of the Magnolia-Savanna boys basketball game at Savanna.
Hrabosky works on cable broadcasts of St. Louis Cardinals games. The Cardinals, World Series champs, used to have this guy named Albert Pujols on their team. Wonder where he went …
Savanna has had several excellent athletes go on to bigger and better things, like the Hoffman brothers, Glenn and Trevor, who also are in the Savanna hall (don’t forget about Greg Hoffman, who was an excellent boys basketball coach at Western in the 199s).
