The Salt
Lake Bees website has a story on its players earning college
degrees while playing in the minors. Outfielder Nick Gorneault recently
graduated with a degree in kinesiology from the University of
Massachusetts. "It's kind of like sports medicine and exercise
science," Gorneault said.
Gorneault spent four years at UMass before being drafted by the Angels
in 2001. Since then, he has been taking classes part time in the
offseason to finish what he started. "I wanted to have that degree under
my belt so I could broaden my opportunities of other things I can do,"
Gorneault said. "I am very happy that I went back to finish."
