Rob Wooten Day In Fremont

Posted Jan 7, 2009
Former North Carolina relief ace Rob Wooten was honored in his hometown of Fremont Sunday, as it was proclaimed Rob Wooten Day. Wooten, who played a key role on three College World Series squads for the Tar Heels, was a 13th-round pick of the Milwaukee Brewers and had a fine first season in professional ball last summer. Wooten was recently mentioned by Baseball America as one of the Brewers' prospects that was "closest to the majors." (Tar Heel Blue)
