Double threat comes to Auburn

AUBURN - It's not unusual for fans to stick around after a professional baseball game to try and score an autograph or two. Nor is it a new concept to see children line up for one particular player that may make it in the major leagues in the near future.

What was an incredible sight though, was the flurry of requests for Pat Venditte's John Hancock at Falcon Park on Sunday.

Not only did Venditte just shut down any potential rally by the beloved hometown Auburn Doubledays, but the Staten Island closer created a stir among the 1,747 fans in attendance - before he even left the bullpen.
