Any player who moves up in the Cleveland Indians' organization will not say he was cheated during his summer at Batavia. While most of the players never will forget their one season with the Trojans, the folks in Batavia will always remember Jerry Dybzinski, who now plays for the Indians. Three years ago, Dybzinski played with the Trojans. He hit just .219, but was the most popular player on the team. Colzie uses Dybzinski as an example of someone who made it to the big leagues because of hard work.
Hard work is the key.
Colzie hopes it rubs off on his players. Dr. James Ross of the Baldwin-Wallace College communications department once played infield at Batavia. He was very slow. Mike Schwarber and Tom Stibora, pitchers from Cleveland State, are having problems with the Trojans. Stibora pulled a muscle in his shoulder and Schwarber was having trouble getting batters out.
