While fans in the United States were taking stock of pennant races in the Major Leagues in September, three O’s minor leaguers were raising their stock by performing well in baseball’s World Cup in Europe.
Paco Figueroa, who hit .305 this year in 62 games at second base for Bowie, went 17 for 34 for Spain and led the entire 20-nation tournament in hitting.
Paco batted .500 with a homer, 8 RBI, 10 runs and four steals in ten games, helping Spain advance to the second round.
