Caption: Pioneer Pride #24 - This 1996 Varsity baseball team jersey belonged to Thomas Marchisello during his first year of playing for our team. Tom was a transfer student and was a fine pitcher for the Pioneers. Tom's Coach remembers him as "a good kid, a good guy to have on the team. He was very lighthearted and has good sense of humor; he made our van rides [to games] more enjoyable." Tom finished his B.A. in Economics in 1998. In 1997, the team name was changed to the Raptors, so this is one of the last jerseys bearing the Pioneer name.
