Article spotlights two Justins with baseball – and Henrico – connections

Two Justins with Henrico connections – one a future Hall of Fame pitcher and another whose possible path to baseball stardom was cut short by injury – were featured in an article and videos on MLB.com this week. The piece spotlights the relationship between Justin Verlander, a Goochland native who played at Tuckahoe Little League as a youngster and later at Old Dominion University before being drafted by No. 2 in the 2004 Major League Baseball draft by the Detroit Tigers; and Justin Orenduff, a Chesapeake native who eventually starred at VCU before being drafted in the first round the same year by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
