Anthony Veneziano, a star in both baseball and basketball at Warren Hills Regional High School, is now a professional pitcher in Korea with the SSG Landers. Still a very young man at age 28, he has become a well-traveled veteran in the baseball world.

In 40 career games with Kansas City, Miami and St. Louis he compiled a respectable 3,98 Earned Run Average and won his only career decision while with Miami.

Last winter, he signed a minor league contract (including a major league spring training invite) with the Texas Rangers and then the offer from Korea came up.

Several Major League players have gone to Asia and returned.

A recent example is Alex Ochoa, who played eight seasons in America, left the Angels as a free agent in 2003 to play for the Chunichi Dragons for four seasons in Japan, then signed with the Boston Red Sox. He is the only player to hit for the cycle in both America and Japan, getting a single, double, triple and home run in the same game in Philadelphia in 1996 and in Tokyo in 2004,

Veneziano was selected by the Kansas City Royals in the MLB amateur player draft, after a successful college tenure at Coastal Carolina University.

Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building.
