Spring Break
Angeloni draws attention from MLB scouts
Issue date: 4/30/09
We may never know what the fate has in store for the Blue Terror, but we have an idea of what the future holds for our beloved Blue Jay. Angeloni hopes to play in the minor leagues after graduation. "It's looking good so far," he says about his chances of being drafted.
Another thing that's looking good is Angeloni's wardrobe, which Simmons describes as similar to Michael Corleone's style, from The Godfather II. Not only does Angeloni compare to Corleone on the outside, but Simmons believes that the Godfather can be found in Angeloni's personality as well. "He's a great leader and a hard worker," Simmons said about his teammate. Just like Corleone, I guess.
If Angeloni could be anyone, though, it wouldn't be the Godfather. It'd be Inspector Gadget, who, according to him, should not be labeled as an inspector but rather as a superhero. Despite his incredible arm at the mound, he says his pitching skills are nothing compared to "go go gadget arm." "If I could have any superpower, I'd have go go gadget arm," he said, followed by an arm extension. "See? If my arms could go like Inspector Gadget's, I could reach that wall," he said, pointing to a wall 50 feet away.
So Angeloni might not be Inspector Gadget, or Michael Corleone or a minor league baseball player . . . yet. But it's undeniable that this Blue Jay has the talent to pull off one of these futures; and, of course, a good prank or two along the way.
