This may be James Fitzgearlds' first year playing with the Lakers, but don't let that fool you. Having played baseball for 14 out of his 20 years, it could be said that Fitzgearlds lives and breathes baseball. He plays the closer position.
Coming from Harrisonville high school Fitzgearlds came to MCC-Longview because of the affordable, quality education and athletics. While undecided about his future educational plans, Fitzgearlds is getting offers from Divivion1 Schools, such as Kansas State University and the University of Missouri.
"I love getting up every day knowing I get to play," he says, "it's great being able to play so many games in a season."
