Grossmont College

There's no he's not around long enough for anybody to hear about him.

So in 1980, a friend told him he should go to an open tryout that the Mets were having at Grossmont College in San Diego.

So they were like, they're having open tryouts down there.

You can fucking play.

Right.

They said he spent most of his time playing baseball and three pitch softball on Southeast Sports Field.

But it was Grossmont College that Mitchell got his big break, meaning the tryout.

Mitchell said, I was out there playing around and some scouts were there and they saw me.
