Brooklyn Sports Has Its Own Rock

There was a Rock before entertainer Dwayne Douglas Johnson was designated "The Rock." 

His name was Eric (The Rock) Eisenberg, and indeed, you can add his name to the Gil Fershtman-Lafayette High School ball instructing tree. 

"Rock" was a volunteer associate on one of Fershtman's incredible b-ball groups – the group that made it to the 1975-76 PSAL semi-finals with a shining 19-1 record. 

"That group was driven by 6-8 Arthur (Stretch) Graham," reminds PSAL advocate Richard Kosik. Graham later enlisted and performed at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Okla. 

With respect to Rock, he proceeded to mentor at FDR and Tilden. He had all-city Eric Johnson – the more youthful sibling of the "Microwave," Vinnie – at FDR. Eric proceeded to play at Nebraska. 

At Tilden, Eisenberg instructed All American point-monitor Ed Cota during the '90s, who later featured at North Carolina under Hall of Fame mentor Dean Smith. 

Additionally under that Fershtman tree, we found one more branch. 

Michael J. Fox checks in by means of email and reminds Scholastic Roundup that he was head supervisor at Lafayette in 1964. He proceeded to mentor the JV ball program at Wingate High – and showed news coverage and English where he actually lives, in Tucson, Arizona.

"I never instructed there," he says, "yet I ran the secondary school scoreboard times at Santa Rita High School for ball and football from 1979-2015."

Sway Hertzel composes for The Times West Virginian, and sent an email to Scholastic Roundup subsequent to finding out about his top choice – Al Ferrara – when Ferrara, otherwise known as The Bull, played one-season with the Reds in Cincinnati. 

Hertzel was a Cincinnati author and radio personality at that point. 

"He is one of my unsurpassed top choices," Hertzel said via online media. "We'd go to the track together (when he was with the Reds) – him, Pete (Rose) and me. 

"He (Al) never mooched a cigarette from anybody – he smoked a great deal then, at that point – yet never had a match," Hertzel reviewed. "He gave me probably the best statement ever, not long after being exchanged from San Diego to the Reds. Fly ball to left field, normal, just he surrounded and orbited — came in and transformed it's anything but a plunging get. 

"I got some information about how that occurred after the game," Hertzel proceeded, "and he reacted: 'What'd you expect for Angel Bravo, Willie Mays?" 

Hertzel finished with: "Much more than Michael Jordan, he is the unsurpassed Bull." 

Ferrara began his baseball at Brooklyn's St. Athanasius grade school and was an All-City entertainer at Lafayette High prior to making his major-association debut with the Dodgers in 1963 He was an individual from two World Championship groups with them, 1963 and 1965.

Discussing Ferrara, Alan (Oogie) Eganthal rings in from Florida in the wake of perusing the piece on The Bull in the Brooklyn Eagle. 

"We lived on a similar square – East second Street — as children," said Eganthal, who trained ball at Richmond Hill High School. "Obviously," he adds, "he was more established, yet we was aware of his ability and stickball power also." 

Howard Kellman, the Sheepshead Bay High graduate who has called games for the Indianapolis Indians small time ball club, has a day by day twitter channel that any baseball fan couldn't want anything more than to follow. 

His latest tweets: Carl Erskine, the previous Brooklyn Dodger now a prime 96, tossed the first of his two no-hitters 69 years prior this month – the date – June 19, 1952. Truth be told, of the seven no-hitters tossed in the National League during the 1950s, two were tossed by Erskine. 

Previous major leaguer Bob Aspromonte commended his 83rd birthday. 

Aspromonte would one say one is of 11 significant association players to move on from Lafayette High School – Sandy Koufax, John Franco, Pete Falcone – and who can fail to remember that The Bull (Al Ferrara) is among the gathering? 

Kellman graduated Brooklyn College and called St. John's University b-ball on radio during his senior semester.

Congratulations are all together for John Thomas. He moved on from Middle School 442 this month, and will go to FDR High School in the fall. 

He's an incredible young fellow, says his father, and obviously we're extremely pleased with him. "As well as being a fine understudy, he gives grace a compassion towards others where we hold vital with our family esteems," father Glenn composed via web-based media. Also, adds: "We love you John." 

Father Glenn is the varsity b-ball mentor at FDR. 

Previous writer – he composed games for the Brooklyn Eagle – Arthur Solomon expresses: "The National League pitchers should give part of their compensation to the Mets hitters. They make awful pitchers look great and great pitchers look incredible." 

Solomon was a senior VP/senior advocate at Burson-Marsteller, and was answerable for rebuilding, overseeing and assuming key parts in the absolute most huge public and global games and non-sports programs.
