Caption: Pioneer Pride #14 - This 1995 Varsity Baseball belonged to Kristopher Giangreco, who played baseball for three years at Rutgers-Camden (1994-1997). Kris was a stellar player and netted himself second ranking in the Official 2003 NCAA Baseball and Softball Records Book game records for Division III Baseball for scoring seven runs against College of New Jersey on April 19, 1996. (His record number of runs was not beat until three years later when a Marietta College player scored eight runs). Also displayed is the children's book Kris wrote as one of the assignment options in my Fall 1996 Law & Society Class and for which he and his two co-authors received a well-deserved 'A.' Fall of 1996 was my first semester at Rutgers-Camden and Kris took both courses I taught; I remember him as a good writer.
