Oklahoma State was the only school to offer Robin Ventura a scholarship coming out of high school. Think about that. Obviously, his decision to play for the Cowboys was a no brainer. But it wasn’t until his junior year in Stillwater that he realized he might actually have a future in baseball. He won an Olympic Gold with Team USA in the ’88 games. The White Sox took him 10th overall in the MLB Draft. In 1989, he made his Major League debut. Ventura played 16 years of professional baseball. He was a 2-time All-Star and won six gold gloves. He's been an MLB manager, and has gone from playing with his idols to becoming an idol for so many. His secret to having a successful career? Keep a level head and just play ball.
