Davis Diaz on the way to Vanderbilt or the Major Leagues
By Jon Kingdon
Davis Diaz in 2018 Photo Gint Federas A few years ago, there was a baseball movie starring Kevin Costner called For the Love of the Game. It s a title that could also be applied to recent Acalanes graduate Davis Diaz and his relationship to baseball. Even though Diaz is only 18, it could not be called a short-term relationship. I started playing T-ball at the age of 3, though my parents had to lie about my age, Diaz said. I went on to play with a Pleasant Hill team called the Hawks and then with the Lamorinda Travel team and I grew up with them along with playing at Acalanes.
