Just curve balls By CHRISTINA CONRAD Sports Correspondent Chuck Finn is a baseball player whose talents on and off the field may take him to great success in the near future. Charles, known to family and friends as “Chuck” is the son of James and Florence Finn of Dal- las. He was the starting catcher for the varsity baseball team at Lake- Lehman and is now in the process of trying out for the Keystone State Games at the collegiate level (one level above the normal for his age). He also is currently the starting catcher for the Back Mountain American Legion team. However, his talents are mani- fold. Chuck also excels in the class- room maintaining a high grade point average and was elected senior class president. “I think you just have to be what you are,” Finn said. “Stereotypes of the dumb jock have been around a long, long, time. There are many people like me. People don't look hard enough to find them because it is easier not to.” The breaking of the common stereotype may have begun {rom when Chuck learned to play ball. “My mom taught me how to field and my dad taught me how to hit,” said Finn. “My mom was always around softball so it put me around sports all my life. I really learned a lot about the game from softball. I gained a knowledge of the sport at a young age. And my dad was a good athlete. I guess I get my ath- letic ability from him.” Once learning how to play Chuck began his Little League career. Chuck comments on Little League, “It is a really good program. Kids, boys and girls, get a lot of instruc- tion and a solid start at the sport.” As time went by Chuck estab- lished for himself the position of catcher. The catcher is a behind- the-scenes leader of the defense who often is not recognized be- cause he is not as visible as other positions. “The hardest part about catch- ing is keepng the team up when everyone is down.,” Finn said. However, Chuck proved he could do that throughout the Lake- Lehman season as they struggled to come from behind several times. And he advises that it takes a certain type of person to be a catcher. “Someone who likes to abuse their body and likes dirt : CHUCK FINN Lake-Lehman catcher, and class president could be a catcher,” Finn joked. For Finn the more dirt the bet- r. “After baseball there is just more baseball for me. There is no such thing as life after baseball,” Finn said. His attitude is exempli- fied in his choice as a player he admires. “Pete Rose is a player who is a great hustler. I like him,” Finn said. In many ways Finn does exemplify the “Charlie Hustle” model of ball player. He is a team leader on whatever team he is playing and is sure to be a hustling player at either Mansfield or Rutgers University in the fall. "0 become a good player and be successful took a lot of hard work on Chuck Finn's part. However, he credits two coaches as people he has learned a lot from; Frank Paczewski, a former Little League coach, and Walter Sorber, his current American Legion coach. “They both taught me to mature on and off the field.

Currently Finn is teamed with coach Sorber, on the Back Moun- tain American Legion team. At press time, the team is 5-1. Finn said, “We are doing well this year. We are a young team but we have a good shot at making the playoffs. We have kids who can hit and a steady defense. There are nostand- outs though. We are all fundamen- tally sound.” As Finn plays one can tell he really enjoys the game. However, if there was one thing he could change about baseball it would be the curve ball. “I would throw out the curve ball if I could. I hate hitting them,” Finn said. Curve ball or not, Chuck is the type of athlete who is determined to be successful because of his ability, respect of the game, his hustle and because he eats, drinks and sleeps baseball.
