In Praise of 1980s Video Editors Part 2: Major League Baseball

Last week, we highlighted the skills of the 1980s video editors who assembled montages like this NBA clipfest set to the 1812 Overture.  Now, another brilliant highlight reel -- focused mainly on the base stealers of Major League Baseball, and set to the William Tell Overture.  Watch the montage, and see if you can spot all the players highlighted (listed below).

A few more "where are they now?" notes about the people mentioned in Warner's Plays of the Week:

• 0:00 Everyone knows David Robinson, aka "The Admiral," as a legendary NBA champion/MVP/Hall of Fame/gold medalist.  But he only began playing organized basketball as a high school senior.  Robinson, 6' 7" at the time, followed his father's footsteps and enrolled in the Navy (even though their maximum height allowed is 6' 6", they allow a limited number of waivers for cadets up to 6' 8").  However, when he began to dominate the basketball court, NBA teams came calling -- only to hesitate, because Robinson was required to serve five years of active duty after graduation (this article quotes the Washington Bullets GM as saying that Robinson may be "worth the gamble").  This problem was solved when Robinson grew to be 7' 1"; he no longer met the physical requirements for Navy service, so after just 2 years of special service, Robinson was drafted by the Spurs, and the rest is history.
• 2:35 Ohio High School, located in the tiny of Ohio, Illinois (with a population of 550), made huge waves when they surged through Illinois' state basketball championships in 1986. Lance Harris, he of the 70-foot buzzer beater, moved a little closer to Chicago and became a firefighter.
• 2:47 Speaking of Chicago suburbs, Triton College is a 2-year community college just northwest of the Windy City.  James Parker's crazy behind-the-back shot was a staple of sports highlights shows for years -- very few of them mentioning that Triton went 29-5 that year.
• 3:07 While John Gibbons only played 8 games with the Mets after Spring Training, both he and Howard Johnson became MLB managers: Gibbons with the Toronto Blue Jays, and Johnson most recently with the Mariners.
